    Way to go tailor STATELY!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Congrats Stately. Impressive arrangement. Succinct, with a hard punch. I learn from most all on this site. Enjoyed all the entries and the insightful Muse Reviews.

    I sent Tailor STATELY a PM. Give her three days. If she doesn't start a new contest by then, I will.

    I Love Eden, I Do

    Jealous is my Garden
    Of all who tend my time
    But nare will I leave Eden
    Though she pay no mind

    In the Garden Last Night Beneath the Redbud Tree

    Beneath the redbud Lilian
    Lay with her beau last night
    While bushes hid and witnessed
    Their bonding through delight.

    Garden green
    Commandment simple
    Fruit looks luscious
    Man falls, head over heels
    It's been a long road out of Eden...

    The green beneath the blue.
    A divine combination
    no man could ever pursue.

    In the Garden of My Love

    I implored you to Forget-me-not,
    left behind colored in violet,
    the taste of Nightshade upon my lips
    while vines entwine around my heart.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
