Rose Garden

***for Wicahpi's contest***

When I got my invitation to the Rose Garden

I nearly jumped out of my seat

Once a year a lucky villager gets chosen

To see the garden with the king and feast

They send you a carriage with a coachman

And take you on a magical ride

Past the mountains and across the ocean

This honor is to be taken with great pride

When I arrived at the Rose Garden

I was escorted inside the gates

My face lit up with excitement

I just couldn't wait

When the king appeared in front of me

I felt like I was in a dream

We walked through the garden on a stone path

And on the bridge over a stream

There were so many types of flowers

A tulip, daisy and carnation galore

There were fountains and birds taking showers

Peacocks, pheasants, blue jays and more

Once we were done exploring the garden

We went inside the castle to the great banquet hall

The candle light cast across the table

There was a chandelier made of diamonds hanging tall

We took our seats in the mahogany chairs

There was a bowl of fruit with apples, oranges and pears

The servants came out with so much food, we wouldn't have to share

I set my napkin on my lap ready to eat

There were turnips, potatos, bread and beats

And a variation of meats

Never in my life had I seen so much food

Everything tasted extraordinarily good

Now that we were done with our meal

The servants came out with dessert

There was fruit, cake, muffins and wine

But I won't lie, my favorite part was the cherry pie

Everything had tasted so divine

And I won't forget this remarkable day for a long time

What a jolly tale with so much imagery and excitement. Sounds like this adventure would be grand, indeed. I do believe, in the fruit section you may want to change 'pair' into 'pear'. Other than that you crafted a picture perfect scenic tour. Wonderful use of all 10 given words. Well Done!

Thank you for your entry into the 10 Words I Give contest!

Thank you so much! And I didn't even notice the spelling error, thanks for telling me :)
