here in the center
of the spring garden
hope materialized and amassed
To The Right And Left
Overture
spring time’s
sublime slow opening
of raindrops and subtle hues
Hearts
keep them
on your sleeves
for soulmates and bees
Before The Opening
as enchanting as
the flower in bloom
is its prequel
Simplicity
paradise made
with three flowers
and a bee
Sprinkling
they come in
by popping up
blue flowering rainstorm
Like A Dream
a kaleidoscope
of butterfly-flowers
alight on the lawn
One Among Many
oh to be a petal
in a community
that is a flower
River Bank Bloom
colors flowing
alongside
the river’s current
Always Remembered For
your faithful return
each year
in a multitude of tininess
Tender And True
more cherished for
winter’s long wait
spring’s hospitality of abundance
Her Majesty
she wears
a crown of raindrops
crocus queen of spring
Hepatica
spring wander
in the woods
leads to fairyland
Pretty Is As Pretty Does
magnificence incarnate
your humble name
carnation
Elegance
a flowering baton
conducting the first notes
of the symphony of spring
Good Counsel
morning found me fragile
the crocus advised
of its potential
First To Appear
glory of the snow
their bravery belies
their tiny size
Brightened By
a joy like the joy
of seeing an old friend
the cheering effect of pansies
Gorgeousness
the orchid’s dance
of color, light, shape and size
is danced in stillness
A Gift Of Hyacinth
we are so glad
you were forced to bloom
now scenting the house with early spring
Green Refuge In A Houseplant
petals or leaves
self or shadow
beauty is beauty
Bloom Tone
amaryllis in
contralto voice
serenade for spring
Splendid Ending
passing through
the fullness
of bloom
A Touch Of Grace
blooming branch
reaches out for us
bringing beauty closer
Buoyed By Bulbs
amaryllis bloom
her color breaks
this grey day’s grip
Pink Poinsettia
every time
she’s seen
a smile
Seed Chandelier
it will be spring
that flips the switch
of cosmo lights
December Roses
rosied by cold
snuggled into rocks
a carpet of bloom
Forever Reimbursing
the great outdoors
devoted to the enterprise of
feeding the earth for what comes next
Oh To Bloom On
November sun transforms
the frost on the mums
into tears of joy
