I just love your table setting. Green and white such pleasing colours that really accentuate the tigers lilies. Oh yeah, the rondeau. --magnificent and you see these are the kinds of poets and photographs I can see people just loving to read.

Superb metre and rhyme and the floral "oh" is a most creative expression.

Many thanks for sharing such beauty.

You've created a beautiful centerpiece with flowers from your own garden. The rondeau poem is lovely, as well, and I enjoyed reading it very much. (I think the petals of day lilies are edible as well.)

You most definitely have green fingers Melissa! I loved your Rondeau about you turning the earth and your endeavours have brought fruit as your picture looks amazing, cosy and welcoming. Your centre piece looks natural and I see the greenery extends to the plates too! Who needs food! I enjoyed your write, a perfectly formed Rondeau, love Dolly x

    You are very welcome, Melissa. Gardening and I are not compatible at all; I can't grow anything!

Your flowers are gorgeous. Wish I could do that, but all I seem to grow is thick hardy weeds. I did grow potatoes once but they were so small that it took my entire crop to make one meal.
Your poem is well-written, interesting. Your great description makes gardening seem like so much fun.

Melissa, I like your Rondeau, but you're lacking one more line. :) how about, "for blossoms putting on a show, unveil truth that you should know" :) I know you used know already, but this was on short notice. :) Thank you for sharing.
