The Sensual Garden - Judith Anne Finetti

My garden is a sensual feast
Of which the riot of various colours count least
Yes the blues and yellow and lilacs are kind on the eye
But it has so much more to offer,
My oh my!

They say variety is the spice of life
And the sounds in my garden of bird and bee would bear this out.
The wood pigeon, the robin and the bullfinch
All compete for their share of the bird seed
Along with a choice of insects, hedgehogs and frogs
Who take turns, night and day
Among my selection of logs.

The butterflies are also very varied
And with buddleias and echium and clover to choose from they return each year.
Then there are touch, taste and smell
Yes my garden has so much to offer
And gives so much reward for the labour I proffer.
