On the garden theme or just on anything? Don't think i've ever written a poem...only rhyming thingies, like Pam Eyres (sp) and
not very good ones at that. I think it would be fun though
 How about you
set a theme for every one, that way everyone knows where to start?

No that's great Ally, let's hope someone else joins in.
As well as the limerick lets start a poem And see how long we can all keep it going A book or a sonnet, a ballad or verse All about planting the seeds in the dirt. There's bulbs and there's seedlings small, medium and big things and colours in abundance where the sun rays flicker and dance. |

Broken fingernails, aches and pains all mean nothing when you see all the gains from those lovely, scented, flowering shrubs and the colourful flowers appearing in tubs

Or would that be quite wrong?

I thought the same so you're not to blame
If you were on dial up you'd end up insane An idea from me, which I give for free Just post the last verse and I'll be the first (if I'm wrong and to keep it long, just copy from Bills and continue the thrills)

A curse scares me not What a lot of rot! Talking of rot, how's your manure? To flies mine is proving quite an allure. |

You are right, it is simply all rot, Put the curse and manure, i am totally sure Well away from that great beauty spot. Manure it is said is good for the rose But certainly not very kind on the nose! |

Poor Robyn i fear, must be out of good cheer,
Must have felt real bad in the morning, But a still life she made, when she did as was bade, And all on her own without warning
