A little bridge leads visitors into the Robert J. Moody Demonstration Garden, Yuma, Arizona.
 


A small wooden bridge—
I cross into a garden
where deep secrets grow.

    You just don’t know there are secrets because they are secrets. That is why you are drawn to the garden over this magic portal.

      Thanks for making me rethink this haiku. I’ve changed “no” to “deep”—and now there is mystery! 😉

    Often those with secret gardens create a little paradise of their own.

    We need safe demonstration places all over our country. I will admit though that the 50’s riot I was in nobody got hurt. These days a lot of us would have been shot.
