backdropped by the black of shade
the meadow rue observes
an elegant blue lady
Portrait Of A Delphinium
Testament
in tribute to all that summer gives
in harmony with autumn’s colorful display
delphinium delivers a final spire
Delphinium With Hummingbird
a shared translucence
in petal and wing
delicate, determined things
Mutual Compliments
yarrow wore
a crown of glory
bejeweled with delphinium
Luminous Blue Spire
tall stalk
laden with delicate blooms
defying wind and rain
Willing
in the garden I begin to learn
how to let difficulties pass
like shadows across a petals
Delphinium Rain
my drought
of color
ended
Time’s Turning
summer’s life seen
as a kaleidoscope
of colors
Plight Of The Underappreciated
don’t forget me
the daylily implores
leaning into the spotlight
Blues
an ebb and flow
of blue and blue-er
a flowering waterfall
Blue Only At The Edges
of the blue diamond
a new perfection
Resplendent Abundance
delphinium crowns
the yarrow masses
flanked by seeding lily
Into The Deep
dive into
delphinium’s
blue depths
The Garden At Noon
from the shade
I take a long drink
of her colors
Kitchen Window Sill
dirty dishes
blessed by
wild delphinium
The Garden Comes Inside
table bouquet
caressed
by a sunbeam
Sound Seen
the thrum
of wings hovering
stillness in motion
Embellishment
lavender grace notes
in the pink delphinium’s
flowering symphony
Delphinium’s Heron
stillness
at the fence post
bookend for blossoms
The Garden’s Royal Couple
monarchs without wings
the king and queen
of spring
Rendering
iridescent petals
conjure and render
beauty’s infinity
She of Infinite Possibility
broken free of spires
wild child of larkspur
captive of the garden
Paradox
set free
by the fence
uninhibited and unafraid
delphinium bloom with abandon
Panache
each petal
wore a glimmer
of lavender
Delphinium on Oak
summer echoes
in the single bud
fallen from the vase
Columns
Delphinium columns
support the weight of the sky.
Delphinium Surf
Waves of lavender and blue
deep enough to swim in.
Blue
color to swim in
color to fly in
thank you delphinium
