not to be outdone
by turning maples
the stoplight dahlia
Like Lovers Parting
monarch and flower
kissed by the sun
one final embrace
before the journey’s begun
Frost Dodger
as summer wanes
each flower more precious
for the precariousness
Double Bloom
within the hibiscus
dianthus
also blooms
Radiating Hope
a bright light
lifting us
up
In These Times
delicate bloom
in a vast sky
reassures
Contemplating Life
a good companion
is the flower
full of quiet and complexities
Feverfew By The Fence
an insurance
of immortality
Morning Glory
and swim in
your ocean of blue
Priscilla
demure and extravagant
she beguiles
Dizzy
in the garden
dizzy with glee
Culmination
sending curves into curls
and polka dots popping
A Complexity Of Symmetry
the center
echos the edges
Pink Moon
glowing all the day
sweet bella luna
Between And Beside
filaments of tenderness
keep calling for touch
Ricochet Of Loveliness
the sky echos
the garden’s bloom
Greeting Everything Where It Is
she opened
her beauty
in every direction
The Petunia Looking Back
a piercing
green eye
Exceeding Expectations
deemed ordinary
delivering a spectacle
oh the muchness of marigolds
Tender Hearted
amidst her silver foliage
fine and fancy hearts
on the garden’s sleeve
Abstraction
deconstructed
potent as ever
Surely Shirley The Poppy
purple and orange
pizzaz
The Curvature Of Color
shifted and changed
as they traversed the iris’s curves
The Delicate Alongside The Enduring
delivers
petals against granite
Petaled Pinwheel
which turns
without turning
Vibrant As The Sun
and brought me
with it
She Wears
with which
to charm the bees
Whimsey
an effervescence
of delight
Lavender Blue
the garden’s
altarpiece
Raspberry Crabapple
beneath a bower
of blossoms
