Darling of the door yard garden
clematis climbs up and along the picket fence;
most brilliant and ingenious buttercup.
Field of Astor
Lavender and yellow delights
gather in the meadow
Woodstock for wildflowers.
Lilac
Prodigy of spring
sweetly scents
the warming days
Opportunity
Delve deep
into the pink
fleeting perfection.
Friends
Johnny jumps up
to greet me in the morning
pledging to forget me not.
Woodland Path
This is the path that leads to the place
where the flowers know your name,
walk slowly and listen to their stories of you.
Bees See
how lavender whispers.
That purple is soft
and yellow tastes like the sun.
Ruffled Edge
Dog Art
Pads of paws
on snowy steps
draw flowers.
Cone Flowers
Gone are the purple petal skirts and crowns of gold
but your beauty and grace remain
and will be scattered by the wind.
Flower Farm
Shoulder high your flowers grow
row after row
awaiting their service of solace or celebration.
What the garden gives
Midsummer brings the brown eyed susan,
cone flower, cosmo, pink and lavendar
onto the table, bedside and mantle.
An abundance of beauty.
