a bit of a strumpet
flaunting her trumpet
enticing hummingbirds and bees
Althea
The Umbrella’s Underneath
discarded
by a fairy
after the down pour
On The Porch
in the peacefulness
it is possible
to dream as big as the sky
Following Instructions
mother said
stay off the road
hide if trouble comes
Seen With A Sigh Of Awe
petals and wings
are ephemeral things
pulling on our heart strings
Trio Of Pairs
sunshine clapboards and goldenrod
pink hibiscus and joe pye weed
shingled roofs with pine needles and clean
Microscopic Astronauts
the ground grew
a space station ready
to launch spores into flight
As The Sun Rises
the remaining night
darkens
the aster’s blue
Softly
the gentle landscape
rising and falling
showing us how
Distance
paints with a soft brush
the sunny union
of the zinnia and the butterfly
Come In
at the front door
flowers will
greet your feet
Fig Leaf
in an attempt
to cover the sun
more of itself revealed
Council Meeting
late for the vote
but nevertheless
greeted warmly
Summer Is
a red lipped maiden
leaving kisses
on the sundial
Be Where Your Feet Are
the here
of now
contains everything
The Garden Dreamt An Ocean
shoal
of red octopi
floating in the rosebush
The Butterfly’s Season
floating
’round the blossoms
courting beauty
A Catchy Tune
summer serenades with colors
one can’t help
but sing along
Self Conscious
left
is my best
side
Deep In The Garden
the bench submerged
in seeding dill
oh to be like a bug on a stem
