coneflowers stand
in tribute to
their former themselves
Legacy
Heat
these coneflowers
an inferno
of color
A Beauty And Her Beauty
a jewel
in her crown
butterfly alights on coneflower
Uncontainable
shoulder to shoulder
the flowers a joyful gathering
asking us to do the same
Worn Wing
life takes
and yet the swallowtail
still flies
All Sorts And Conditions
newness and perfection
are short lived
life takes
and the flowers give
Amongst Blooms
in the petaled shade
a monarch’s
momentary pause
Still Strong
time worn petals
do not detract
from her stellar vibrancy
Opposites Attract
soft fuzzy bee
atop
the prickly coneflower
Dizzy With Joy
spinning color
to the tips
of her petals
Dizzy
in the garden
dizzy with glee
Quiet Roar Of The Eastern Tiger
pollen on her back
and creation on her wings
Not Done Yet
sweet September
unwilling to let
summer’s party fade away
Small White Butterfly
spirit
of a dear friend
visiting again
Dizzy
spinning on
a merry go round
of colors
Visit
sit awhile
and listen to
the flowers conversation
Expansion of Consciousness
a psychedelic trip
to the center of the coneflower
where everything is groovy
Coneflower Repose
As you lie in the snow
the stark beauty of your form and structure
announce themselves to the white, white world.
