Keeper of the Grounds

by Huberjack

Just yesterday he made giraffes,
a dragonfly and circus clowns;
he loves the way each tourist laughs.

The clever keeper of the grounds
creates his topiary art;
a lifetime here, he still astounds.

Today his cannons will impart
reminders of the battles past,
of conquests made with grit and heart.

His garden actors will be cast
in parts portrayed in pinks and greens
by shrubs and flora holding fast.

One walks along organic scenes-
imagination intervenes.

Jack...two things are a marvel here. One is the art these gardeners can perform and the other is your well written poem.

Very nice indeed.

an example of true art comes from your admiration and honest declaration, photographed and inked..q

As I see it, the key to this poem is the last line, with its suggestion of the topiary stimulating the imagination of those who see it. Well expressed.
