this tiny corner
of the world
lush in peacefulness
Under The Crabapple In June
Red Lipstick
gorgeous faces
in the garden
all made up
Snow In Summer
flurry
of white blooms
a storm of beauty
The Past, The Present, The Future
the garden’s rose bouquet
holding and offering the blooms of
yesterday, today and tomorrow
The Iris Departing
fading blooms
spiral
into themselves
Waterfall Iris
splashing color
over the garden
into the air
Whimsey
a bauble of tiny blooms
an effervescence
of delight
Goldenrod Gone By
in the cold
old blooms
imitate snow
Dahlias In The Background
bookends of summer
monarchs on
Buddleia
First One Bloom Then…
like ripples on a pond
the blooms go on and on
Amongst The Blooms The Wing-ed Ones
beyond the porch rail
butterfly and hummingbird
make their morning rounds
Cardinal In The Forsythia
he stops by
to encourage
the first blooms
Chosen By Light
the sun’s light
shifts towards spring
expired blooms bloom again
Step Inside The Outside
winter’s
daydream
has arrived
Great Green Loom
the garden
weaves a tapestry
of leaf and bloom
Intensity
the sun
so bright
colors catch fire
Contained
birch vase holds
blooms and departures
the fall bouquet
Bee’s Favorite
pink hostess to
the thrum and buzz
of sweetness in the making
Iridescent
blooming opals
fleeting ephemerals
grace us
Determination
The tenacity of beauty
rebuilds my hope.
Magic Wands
Fairy dust is gathered on magic wands
and used to clean away all ugliness
of sight, word and deed.
The Circle
As the first bloom fades
the next opens to its glory.
Red Flowers on Rock
On the Fourth of July
the garden celebrates in colors
with fireworks of blooms.
Lupin
A meeting of friends in the meadow.
Quaker Bonnets gather
offering their quiet beauty to the whole of the land.
Opportunity
Delve deep
into the pink
fleeting perfection.
Ridge
Just over the ridge
reside my dreams of Spring.
Leafy trees and blooming things;
the sun’s warm embrace, kisses on my face.
Late Bloom
The first hard frost has taken all the leaves.
One brave bloom reaches for the sun.
