the leaf a living canvas
of shape and form
color and texture
Abstract On Leaf
My Purple Satellite
circling the the garden
receiving sun
sending color
Beyond A Name
dahlia petals proving
to call them red
is just an attempt
at an indescribable description
The Garden Crests
a yellow wave of color
crashes upon
the shore of fall
Commencement
some say white
is not a color
but a beginning
Imperative
flowers in March
the grocery store
suffices for the garden patch
Amarylis Did
with her stamens
she motioned me closer
come admire my details
My Orange Sun
warming me
with color
on these gray days
To The Hydrangea
cold
is a kind
of coloring stick
Coleus Leads Fall’s Color Parade
with the zing
of a lime green
rick rack edge
The Landscape’s Breath
nature makes
a long exhale
of bloom and color
Delphinium Rain
my drought
of color
ended
Revealed
she turned
one petal down
revealing her mysteries
of gradation and form
A World Of Purple
separate plants
find kinship
in color
Deep Dive
iris and poppy
plumb the depths
of color
Flowers From A Friend
I submerge into
the sweetness and solace
of scent and colors
Call Of Attention
their shout
of color rises
from the forest floor
Dizzy
spinning color
in the garden
dizzy with glee
Waterfall Iris
splashing color
over the garden
into the air
Blue Columbine
your color
is the baritone
of the garden’s chorus
New Day
color and light
rushing in
pushing out the darkness
Exuberance
praise the amaryllis
injecting color
into winter
Candy Stripe Sky
the comfort and care of color
carries us through
the cold night
Magnificence
I gloried
in the maple
taking her color as my strength
Wild
color
and form
undomesticated
Music’s Bloom
rhythm of orange
syncopated
by hue
At The Edge
listening
to the purple
echos
Cosmo Macro
at the center
concentration
of life and color
Undulating Color
the garden an ocean
peony blooms as if
a sea anemone
Indian Paintbrush’ed
like watercolors
prairie fire bleeds color
across the landscape
