Daily Create Prompt: #clmooc #DS106 @ds106dc #tdc3970 A photo that goes with a book. I chose “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett and found this lovely secret garden we discovered by stopping at a restaurant some where on Washington State Highway 20, and stepping into the back garden, this marvelous and magical garden surprised and mesmerized us. Look at those leaves!

And so… a poem

A Secret Garden

A rickety fence
moss-covered
forgotten wagon wheels
spokes lichen filled
a step through a tilted picket
through a dense, green thicket
finds a wondrous unkept garden
a lost untended yard and
now a secret garden.
