be with
a dahlia bathed in sunlight
and feel your spirit rise
A Cure
Sun Catcher Dream Catcher
dahlia’s petaled hoop
filtering light from dark
dreams from daymares
Reawakened
when my flame of awe flickers
nature’s beauty
fans it back to fire
Reward
brought inside
before the hard frost
a bloom of recompence
Within Reach
yesterday’s sunrise
appeared again
in today’s dahlia
The Chipmunk’s Mediation
perched upon
the dahlia stake
contemplating plenty
Sweet Perfection
make mine
two scoops
of chocolate dahlia
Intensity
not to be outdone
by turning maples
the stoplight dahlia
Dahlias In The Background
bookends of summer
monarchs on

Oh Dahlia
lady in red
takes
her star turn
First Dahlia
a dazzler adorns
the back porch
hand rail
Dew On Dahlia
in autumn light
the finest finery
dew bedazzles
Appreciation
moment
with a flower
highlight of the hour
On the Sideline
pompoms
of petaled color
cheering on fall
Enchantment
curving petal
the flower’s wink
magic in everything
Wake
morning comes
to the dahlia sun
rousing the sleeping bee
Told in Silence
quiet perfection
unfolding, unfolding
a rhythm of pink and cream
Pink Cyclone
whirlpool
of petals
color’s vortex
Garden Bench
in the company
of dahlias
beauty rests
Mysteries of the Color Wheel
sisters hold the secret
of simultaneously being
magenta and scarlet
Sun Gazer
unblinking
the most tender of petals
will reveal all
Dahlia in the Daises
bright blooms
autumn afternoons
departing soon
Tsuki Yori No Shisha
fibonacci’s code
strictly orders
the cacophony of frills
Stop Light Dahlia
instruction
to look
carefully
Red Dahlia
vamping
in the rain
unabashed
Sweets
blooming bon bons
the eye candy
of chocolate dahlia
Blaze
basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days
Paradise
bee’s nirvana
a pollen utopia
found in October
Dahlia with Bee
vibrant yellow center
pink blushed petals
a bee’s cafe
Diva
Demanding Dahlia
diva of the garden bed
as bud or bloom turning heads
