November sun transforms
the frost on the mums
into tears of joy
Oh To Bloom On
Cathy’s Chrysanthemums
each year bringing us
flowers to remember her with
Yellow House With Chrysanthemums
presided throughout
house and garden
Listen Closely
in the grass
the mums conspiracy of beauty
Mum
the one
whose love
never tires
White Mums
a blizzard of blooms
before the first flakes fall
Mum
the garden’s secret keeper.
