Thanks to @umirais, @owasco, @boxcarblue and @gentleshaid for their entries. What stunning glimpses into garden life. Please enjoy them!

Winds whisper of gold,
Beneath the sun-baked surface,
Tubers sweet and bold.

The sparrows pray for rice plants
The rice stalks continue to grow
To feed the family and survive
@umirais

zucchini proves
that invisibility
is a thing
@owasco

a blanket of snow
gently covers the beds
rest well my garden

weather charts flush red
paddocks painted pale yellow
bird baths half empty

Everyone's a winner this week - too darn good! And a little reminder that you can write haiku, poetry, draw, write a story, or just wax poetic about your garden for this challenge!

Let's Move On To This Week's Creative Challenge...

The trick is to write CREATIVELY and BE creative. For example:

  • Showcase a creative response to a problem in your garden
  • Write a story of any genre that features a garden somewhere in the story
  • Write a creative non fiction post about a garden memory
  • Draw, paint, sculpt, write a poem
  • Write a comedy script
  • Write from the perspective of an animal or a tool in your garden!

Rules

  • Posts should contain only ONE image. This is a writing challenge not a photo challenge
  • Publish in the community
  • Use #creativegarden as your first tag
  • Refer back to this challenge at the END of your post
  • Reblog this if you can
  • Comment on other people's posts in the Hive Garden community.
  • Check the COUNTDOWN timer on Peakd.com - no late entries

This is a great opportunity for those in the northern hemisphere who might be shutting down their gardens for winter, and still want to write on #gardening topics.

Happy gardening and happy holidays everyone,

A very nice and wonderful challenge that preserves the beauty of the environment along with our lives. Gardens play an important role in our survival. With good practices we can create gardens that can play an important role in protecting against climate change. Thank you so much for setting up some wonderful arrangements.

best regards @mdakash62

I like both garden and poem but when is the date of ending
