inside
the bloom
symmetry and silence
Beauty Before The Bloom
before the unfolding
the gathering of potential
and all possibilities
Purple Iris Solo
in the stillness
every line and curved
danced
Divinity Blooms
of one nature
is trillium’s trinity
her triptych in the woods
Remembered
forget me not
the gentlest reminder of
the enormity of tiny pleasures
Behold
the bravery
of the April flower
a beauty’s brevity
Yellow Buds
the circumstance of spring
a clarion call
to courage in beauty
Bromeliad’s Flourish
the southernly porch
fills with winter sun
and desert blooms
The Christmas Cactus’ February Gift
I ride
a raft of color
in winter’s sea of grey
Defiance
vixen
in the window
refuses winter’s grey
Portent
putting the garden to bed
a startling glimpse of spring
the foreshadowing anemone
Tropical Darling
how is it
you bloom in October
in zone 4b?
Flickering
fairy candle
lights the way
into autumn’s darkening days
Speaking in Colors
conversing
with the maple
autumn confidences
Blaze
basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days
Marshside
cattails and Queen Anne
keep watch over
summer’s fading days
Wedded
stonecrop on rock
the marriage of time
eternal and fleeting
Twins
double bloom
two white moons
light in light
See Sedum
shaboom
she blooms
succinct and succulent
Within
the light
from within
is beauty eternal
Autumn’s Palate
September’s beauty burns
in red and orange and brown
The Glory of Rain
blue umbrella
opens out
to cradle the rain
Poppy Tops
thrice she gives…
this flower after the bloom
and then her rain of seed
Clematis, Her Majesty
queen of the flowering vines
reigns in robes of royal purple
Garden Lesson
the graceful arch
of tiny flowering stars
lose strife loosestrife reminds
Apprecaited
beauty lies
in the fine lines
and twinkling of crinkles
Petal Pirouettes
responding to the breeze
and breath of bees and butterflies
an endless dance
Expansion of Consciousness
a psychedelic trip
to the center of the coneflower
where everything is groovy
Beauty’s Comfort
when nothing is predictable
the beauty of a bloom
can be relied upon
Each Flower An Offering
every petal
a spectacle
and petition of beauty
