Secret Garden
Start Time: 14-24
Finish Time: 14-29
Written for: Ms Wilson
Subject Chosen: Secret Garden
According to Ms Wilson just off Nottingham's Market Square, down an alley and up some steps, there is a little hidden garden, so should you visit Nottingham, search it out.
I work in an office all day,
part of the metropolis in every way,
a concrete jungle with plastic plants,
and colleagues and all their rants,
the people of this city walk around unaware,
with a blank unknowing, uncaring stare,
they do not know about the city oasis,
that brings me my private bliss,
for hidden in this vast metropolis
is a secret city garden,
and as through the day I harden,
at night in my secret garden
I relax and am at peace,
as my stress I release,
in my secret city garden,
where no emotions will harden.
