The Poetry Of Michelle
            Angelini


            
 


            
Fertile Garden

            
Seasonal woman

            is a winter white rose

            plucked from a shiny rainbow

            
In whispering wonder

            she never withers

            as moist nature

            
rustles fertile leaves 

            A sacred sky listens,

            understands

            
sanctuary resides 

            in the color of her garden

            When verdant tendrils

            
climb windows

            She is a child

            who comes out to play

            
Together she and nature

            are soft ornaments

            decorating my view of life
