I knelt and smelt
Hyacinths in the hospital garden.
Their scent
Was delicate and sweet.
.
The next time I went
To that self-same garden
Their scent
Had already been spent.
.
I grow much stronger,
Yet ponder
On a hospital garden
And scent
So soon spent.

It seems spring has sprung. 😉 So true, that the flowers always are blooming, for young and old. Best wishes, Michael
Hyacinths are one of my favourite flowers. I love their scent. They also bloom at Christmas.
Oh, i hadn’t known. But now you know i am not really a gardener. Lol Best wishes, Michael
I am no gardiner either. However, I am a lover of flowers, particularly hyacinths and roses.
Wonderful ♥️
Thank you!
That’s so well-written, Kevin 😊
Thank you for your very kind words, Esther. I’m delighted you like my poem.
A lovely poem Kevin. Hyacinths are one of my favourites flowers too. They are so wonderfully fragrant and their scent can fill a room and make the heart sing.
I’m so glad to hear that you are growing much stronger and wish you well on the road to full recovery!
Thank you for your good wishes, John. I’m delighted that you also love hyacinths. About 10 days ago my mum and I came across a man planting a variety of bulbs, including hyacinths, although the flowers mentioned in my poem had already been planted.
The scent of hyacinths is so lovely. I don’t think mine have come up this year.
All the best for your recovery, Kevin.
I agree with you about the scent of hyacinths, Vivienne. I hope your hyacinths do materialise this year, and thank you for your good wishes as regards my recovery.
