Serenity By William Marsland.

Not much to say on your rhythm and imagery... very good and very rich as usual Smile. Just a few minor comments that might help, but really, I can't see much editing needed

boughs of red-faced bougainvillea
delight a pastel orange day
and hide the stern grey palisade

Blues and white of trailing lobelia trickle
from broken-rimmed terracotta pots
to cover puddlesque, hmm, guess it's up to up to you but don't particularly like "puddlesque", to me it sounds like a convoluted word a corner of the courtyard
home to satin winged butterflies and bees well bees don't have satiny wings I think, but that's just minor Tongue

Warbler’s perched on tall bamboo grasses
chitter-chatter to yellow headed African marigolds
while giant sunflowers sway to unseen wind chimes
like entranced cobras this line sticks out for me... it's accurate, but the impression it leaves is not particularly serene dancing to the flute

The parasol casting just enough shade
for afternoon tea in an afternoon tea garden
served on a silver tray with strawberry filled scones
accompanied by the perfect music of a tinkling stream
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
