A CITY HOUSEWIFE'S RONDEL by ELOISE HERRING GORHAM

First Line: I WALK AMONG MY GARDEN BLOOMS
Last Line: I WALK AMONG MY GARDEN BLOOMS.
Subject(s): FLOWERS; GARDENS & GARDENING; WALKING;

I walk among my garden blooms
And feel west winds upon my face,
For in this heated window space
Two red geraniums flaunt their plumes.

A little kitchen plant presumes
To vie with jasmine's rural grace;
I walk among my garden blooms
And feel west winds upon my face.

All flowers blossom in my rooms
Because against my window place
Geramiums etch their scarlet trace;
Between the kettle, pans and brooms,
I walk among my garden blooms.
