Welcome to the Garden

Here in the Poetry Garden, we like to promote creativity through
expression of words, in the multi-form art of poetry.

Good thing is, this garden's seeds each grow a word
for use in a poem.

Each word can be used anywhere in the poem, as long
as each word occurs at least once, your poem will be
eligible to be judged.

I picked some easier words this time ( I HOPE ! ) so
hopefully we will get more participants this round.
