In God’s Garden of Alliteration.
On a sparkling summer afternoon
nature alliteration runs free
across the garden, over the lawn
and tauntingly through the trees.
Tiger Lilies lie lazily in sunlight
Daffodils dance defiantly 'til dusk
towering treetops thicken tightly
as Wisteria families foster trust.
Honeysuckles climb on jungle gym fences
Crepe Myrtles swing free in the breeze
Hydrangeas on bushes flirt with Amaryllis
and Marigolds sweetly visit Sweet Peas.
Blue-lipped tulips two-step trickily
to tunes of trillions of busy bees
and streams of sunlight glitter serenely
among boughs and branches so free.
Red bud roses solemnly are serenaded
by mandolin' chrysanthemums fair
while cheers rise in caladium stadiums
and nasturtium action fills the air.
Magnolia Leaves blow in blustery wind
and criss-cross falling Camellia Blooms
Violets stand high and look so proud
while sprayed Kudzu meets its doom
Sassy sunflowers taunt dizzy daisies
who forge foreign exotic rendezvous
and cranial Geraniums sell their genius
to Forget-Me-Nots at Carnation News.
Oh how I love an afternoon vacation

The only one I didn't at least recognise was Kudzu, which was sprayed for some reason. Is it that Japanese bamboo that is taking over our gardens?
Some of the stuff I only got on my second reading, but then that's true with most articles. They all benefit from a closer scrutiny. Mutiny would go well with that but I couldn't think how.
Perhaps the title should have been 'God's Gorgeous Garden of Alliteration' ?
Well done anyway. Good fun.
Lovely work -- creative, for sure! Not overbearing, not overdone, just beautiful! :)
God bless.
A difficult feat
not to mention sweet,
when it's so nice and neat. Good job.
