Nature's bountiful wonder, its symphony begins as <br />Leaves ripple in the gentle breeze setting rhythm for all alive, <br />Birds free, singing from their hearts magic for the ears <br />The garden's table opens for samples in this natural hive, <br />Minors and lorikeets already dining on the red honeyed bottle brush flowers. <br />The water dragon lizard sits submerged in the birdbath <br />His head just staring at the lawn, then whoosh he leaps airborne, <br />Like a jumbo bouncing on the lawn landing on a fat worm's path. <br />A pair of minors flies in, too late the worms gone in a gobble! <br />The stone garden duck looks on but unable to quack, <br />Ducks on the fence dare not sample the bread crumbs strewn around, <br />BeauJangles the blind family poodle arrives his super smell nose will never lack, <br />Every living thing looks on as he devours the lot, and to add insult to injury <br />He poo's on the spot. <br />Kookaburra's high in the trees laugh and chatter then fly away <br />The sun already says it's going to make it a very hot day, <br />Pelicans resting by the canal snooze dreaming of their favourite dish of fish <br />I sip my morning tea am I so lucky to see this every single day, I wish.<br /><br />Ken e Hall<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-gardens-table/
