Poems From My Vacation 6 – Victoria, BC

The Gardens of Butchart are marvelous,

A sprawling Canadian eden

Where flowers abound over hillock and mound

And employees spend all their day’s weedin’.

The Gardens are themed geographically,

With Italian and Japanese spaces

And the gelato shop sold, for $8 a pop,

Icy treats to put smiles on faces.

Nearby was the Butterfly Garden

With bugs, birds, turtles, and more

And you could just sit as the butterflies flit

And the lizards abound on the floor.

Overall, ‘twas a wonderful venture

Into flora and fauna domestic.

If you find yourself in Victoria too

Both sites are grand and majestic.
