- Write a Pentina having a theme of [war] garden, sorry reverted to flower power
with spring approaching I’m keen to garden
got seeds to grow colourful flowers
those that will attract birds and bees
add plenty of water and pray it’s sunny
so colours can wave in a warm breeze
butterflies flutter and sway on the breeze
in my small wondrous colourful garden
with an abundant variation of flowers
to attract those honey gathering bees
tempting taste-buds, making me sunny
wealth and fame seldom make one sunny
for they’re known to vanish in a breeze
more satisfaction is found from a garden
as it ignites smiles with bright flowers
and worthy production from our bees
watching the activity of industrious bees
warms my heart so cheerful and sunny
intoxicating scents waft on the breeze
as I earth myself in flower pots and garden
rejoicing at the colourful beauty of flowers
spirits lift with the beauty of flowers
who share their bounty with the bees
lifting my mood no matter wet or sunny
as if worries flutter away on the breeze
when I sit in a flourishing sunny garden
lift your mood by growing flowers in your sunny garden
aiding bees collection of nectar brings a satisfying breeze!
The pentina five verses of five lines each, with a two-line envoi, for a total of 27 lines.

Kate, your pentina showers me with some exquisite images of spring. I will hold on to these for sure. Who knows, I may even try writing a pentina. Blessings.

Heartfelt poem, Kate. It is similar to the way I feel. The beauty and happiness what various bees and insects bring to our lives are incredible. Lovely colours and images.

Hopefully next summer will be a healthier happier one you can share with all your family together 🙂

Hi Kate, this is quite lovely. I don’t know the rules and regs of the Pentina poetry form. I loved this line the most “wealth and fame seldom make one sunny”. As always beautifully written.
