the lily
happy to be
susan’s umbrella
What Friends Do
Grace
the peony
bowed by the rains
dignity exemplified
Mountain Flower
blooming in the woods
for the delight
of trees
The Blossom’s Gaze
a bit
of lavender wistfulness
the longing to be outside
Black Beauty
each landing
a sacrament
of pollination
Enchantment
the garden’s stardust
comprised
of blossoms and buds
Blossom’s Bouquet
ever clever
hydrangea creates
a bouquet within her blossom
You
one among many
blooming
in common splendor
The Mercy Of Houseplants
while it snows
the primrose blooms
conjuring spring
The Green Rose
like a siren
calling to spring
bringing blossoms into being
The Blossom
morning sky
blooms
in pink and blue
Lurker
there’s Joe-Pye weed
peeking
in the window
Rocketship
speeding towards
the setting of seed
destination perpetuity
At Once Twice Seen
water lily’s
doppelgänger
pierces the pond
Second Bloom
this time
raindrops bloom
into shimmering flowers
Recluse in ClapBoard
shy yellow house
her sun blinded window eyes
squinting through the blooms
It Was Said In Blossoms
three paragraphs
in blue and pink and white
is how spring told her story
Spring Tracery
the grand design
each leaf and petal
in it’s perfect place
Saturation
so delicate
the density
of color and joy
Blue Only At The Edges
anomaly
of the blue diamond
a new perfection
She Wears
freckles
with which
to charm the bees
Lavender Blue
triptych of iris
the garden’s
altarpiece
Goddess Of The Moon
outstretched
you offer your beauty
to the whole world
They Appeared From Seemingly Nowhere
a cohort
of bloodroot
laughing in the sun
Forced
blow down
found and saved
the drive to bloom upheld
Flowers From My Beloved
the sky
blossoms
into night
Tomato
ripeness
ascends from
the blossom end
Still Life
the river
pauses to admire
the bloom
Propellers
ready
for take off
the flower drone
Ballerina
a petaled pirouette
peony’s
full turn
