despite
a freezing night
still she blooms
Constant
amidst the world’s
noise and confusion
aster blooms in profusion
Mum
the one
whose love
never tires
Shadow Bloom
backdrop of self
the play of light and shadow
a double bloom
Undaunted
abundance of blossoms
each bloom
a new hope
Memory’s Fragrance
September bloom
slight spice of fall
all the past recalled
Faithful
every bud’s opening
was a restoration
of faith
Razzle Dazzle
red zig zagged petals
rick racked in fuchsia
perfection of pinks
Madrigal
the colors
sang an aria
cantata of the garden
First
among the many
only one is
first to bloom
Roadside Arrangement
summer
decorates the byways
with charm and cheer
Unaccompanied
even in the solitude
every gesture mattered
conversation with self
Each and One
all together
the bud, the bloom, the pod
circle of life – beauty at every stage
Peony Pleasures
swirl and twirl
of raspberry frappe
decadence mixed with delight
Modesty
so much
attention from the sun
petals blush
Garden Party
plants and insects
celebrate
the first of summer’s days
Iris Interior
inside
the bloom
symmetry and silence
Beauty Before The Bloom
before the unfolding
the gathering of potential
and all possibilities
Purple Iris Solo
in the stillness
every line and curved
danced
Awash in Colors
orange waves break
on the garden’s shore
the azalea is in bloom
The Decree
winter is banished
the branch in bloom
Coup
every bloom
a triumph
of joy
Suspended
sleeping beauties
their blooms await
the sun’s awakening kiss
Bromeliad’s Flourish
the southernly porch
fills with winter sun
and desert blooms
Defiance
vixen
in the window
refuses winter’s grey
Tropical Darling
how is it
you bloom in October
in zone 4b?
Twins
double bloom
two white moons
light in light
See Sedum
shaboom
she blooms
succinct and succulent
Poppy Tops
thrice she gives…
this flower after the bloom
and then her rain of seed
Sunflowers
beaming in the hot sun
best beheld from the cool
depths of woodland shade
