‘Midst the hedgerow,
evergreen,
were flowers with blousy crimson heads,
dark as jewels,
worn by a queen,
with pale skin,
and hair, fire-red.

She took the rose,
smelled its perfume,
and Summer entered her cloistered room,
how radiant the fragrance
that swept her away -
back to the garden
throughout the day,
away from a room,
with timbered floors,
and dusty tomes
on bookshelf walls.

Evening came,
and Madelaine lay
happy and tired
from that Summer day;
beside her bed was the beauteous rose
the fragrance wafted
across the pillows.
The hour was late,
she dimmed the light
and Madelaine,
she slept so tight,
she dreamed of the hedgerow and the moon,
and the rose
of flaming June.

5-stars for "Celebrate The Seasons" by Suzy Davies and Laurie Shanholtzer

This is a 'STUNNING' poetry book in so many ways. The beautiful words of the poetry took me back to so many memories as a child. Going fishing with my dad and spending time at the beach. Even the poems about Christmas time flooded back very fond memories. What brings this book together are the unbelievable illustrations throughout. They really are incredible! The detail and the warmth of the illustrations combined with the poetry are brilliant. Loved it!
