This poem is dedicated to my loving Grandpa.He's not my real grandpa.But I considered him as my real Grandpa.I love him so much.He too considered me as his granddaughter.
Grandpa's Secret Orchard
Cherries are blooming after cold winter
Chirping birds awaken my Grandpa
Comes outside to see his lovely children
Considers his orchard as his nursery
Cherries sparkling like crimson stones
Cheerfully dancing with Rosemary
Camellia Chrysanthemum mixed with
Chamomile spread pure sweet scent
Creeping- Phlox Candytuft
Colourfully outlined the orchard
Collie Chinchilla Coupari
Cymric and Cyprus wagging their tails
Caspian and Campolina asking to play
Caring and loving him
Crystal château glittering like a snowball
Cool mist covered his orchard
Cosmos beautifully decorated his castle
Clementines squeezed to make a drink
Clapping Grandpa sipped the drink
Cheesy cutlets and crispy salads enjoyed
Cherry orchard opens in the morning
Closes in the evening
Cannot go inside without him
Cannot see his orchard without him
Charm cherubic chic
Charismatic Grandpa went to church
Chanting prayers for all
Changed his Rosy orchard into heaven
(Dedicated to my loving Grandpa John Knight. Though he’s not my real Grandpa, I considered him as my Grandpa.)

I find this poem perfectly charming. Beautiful rhythm and diction. Great work with the letter C.
very touching and lovely poem.. loved the pic too.. itz so butiful... excellent use of words...
Ah! This style of alliterating a letter at the beginning of each lines, is indeed a style that you are creating beautifully. I am sure John Knight would adore this poem. It is charismatic as your writing....
I appreciate your passion for poetry. Your soul sings.
I think I know this Grandpa of yours...but as to his secret orchard...Well, this poem is certainly wonderful.More wonderful than the orchard for certain.
A plethora of delights for the senses, and I just love the alliteration. This is a real tribute to 'Grandpa John Knight'. Wonderful. :)
Unique original clever with a 'c' I.m sure grandpa will love it in heavenly dreams...regards
Well written poem. Very visual. Grandpa's are the best aren't they? God Bless and keep writing! Linda
I danced in your grandpa's orchard as I read this lovely verse...I enjoyed the garden scents and loved the beauty of the flowers. Thank you for sharing your bounty. Dorothy A Poet Who Loves To Sing
I find myself hungry after reading this dedication. You have managed to use an array of words that bring me an inner calm yet leave me hungry for more. Lovely write.
Lovely piece Dulakshi.....Grandpa is synonomous with the Cherry Orchard...
very beautiful.. again.. i like what you are doing with alliteration.
A very beautiful Orchard and the poem too.
We all have 'gurus' - wise teachers who leave an indelible stamp on our lives and in our memories. Your Grandpa is one of those and you honor him with great ebullience and plethora of flora and fauna (as well as impressive alliteration) in this luxuriant garden of a poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Fabulous poem and I've just noticed the letter C starting each sentence. Well done Dulakshi!
Charming, clever, companionable, classic form
