Lawn Party by Phyllis Beckman

Phyllis Beckman begins her days with a candle, coffee, and Your Daily Poem. A lover of trees, she rues the loss of three ash trees from her Onalaska, Wisconsin corner lot to the emerald ash borer currently sweeping the area and is anticipating welcoming a replacement this summer. Phyllis says the "Driftless Area" is a beautiful setting for writing poetry and she credits the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets and Women Writers Ink for keeping her on task.

Lovely title for your poem and i can see the morning glories, as they "scale rustic ladder". They are my favorite flower, I want to come to this lawn party. Thanks Phyllis.
