in tandem
the soft caress of blossoms
the hum of insects busy
doing the work of the world

Where observation and imagination meet nature in poetry.
September’s astonishing blue sky is for you.
Delicate lichen blossoms on stone are for you.
All of nature’s beauty awaits you.
Flowers feed the soul.
As the first bloom fades
the next opens to its glory.
Betrothed to each other and the earth
fairies place their wedding rings
on flower pillows side by side
during the nuptials.
On the Fourth of July
the garden celebrates in colors
with fireworks of blooms.
Darling of the door yard garden
clematis climbs up and along the picket fence;
most brilliant and ingenious buttercup.
Beloved early guest of spring, goddess of the awakened earth.
Twin blossoms of love and protection mark the entrance to fairyland;
inviting you to venture past the invisible gate and into the world of delight.
In a burst of energy, renewal and hope colors are released
as trees transform the landscape from winter to spring.
The magnolia sends forth her first blossoms
into the rare air of March that feels like May.
The sunshine calls and she answers yes in unfurling petals.
