yarrow wore
a crown of glory
bejeweled with delphinium
Mutual Compliments
Deliverance
in the fullness of the sun
the deepest darkness
broken open
Pink Sparkler
starburst of color
created with
captured light
Luminous Blue Spire
tall stalk
laden with delicate blooms
defying wind and rain
Awash In The Sun
poppy petals
watercolored papers
flutter in the wind
Clematis Queen Of Climbers
saucer sized blooms
with whirligig centers
plumming the depths of purple
Flowers Look
Dahlia
watches the world
through lavender lashes
Being With Peonies
in the presence
of their beauty
I felt myself unfurl
Legs Akimbo
six knee-ed
nimbly ants traverse
the intricacy of bloom
Side By Side
here we are
so similar and yet
unreservedly different
Seasonal Devotion
like rowdy fans
in the bleachers
iris cheer on summer
Made Sacred By Intention
the faithful offering
of careful thought and tending
for vegetable starts and insects
Innocence
white peony
purity expressed
in petals
Contained
open
and let
your light shine
We Each Bloom In Our Own Time
unique
to each individual
the perfect timing
Awake In The Dream
the world
awash in bloom
I am centered
in the heart of creation
Each And All Of It
so often
the garden reveals how
the whole is more than the sum of parts
To The Right And Left
here in the center
of the spring garden
hope materialized and amassed
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
