Buddha leaves
a wake
of beauty and calm
Dearest Neighbor
these slower times
allow for longer visits
with the flowers
The Poet Sunshine
the flowers’ shadows
write their own poem
on the book’s pages
Garden Lights
sunflowers
still holding
summer sun
Remembrance Of The Forgotten
the fluidity of bloom
forgotten
the force of bloom
memorialized
Flowers From My Beloved
the sky
blossoms
into night
Summer Blooms Summon Fall
the garden’s call of color
an invitation
to the leaves to turn
Nana’s Dooryard Garden
her welcome
always joyous
and abundant
Fall Approaches
as everything changes
keep flowering
as long as you can
First One Bloom Then…
like ripples on a pond
the blooms go on and on
Not Done Yet
sweet September
unwilling to let
summer’s party fade away
Hummingbird Moth
hovering
without the hum
unfeathered fuzzy one
This Humble Paradise
pause and let
time expand into
beauty’s forever unfolding
Proliferation
pink rabbit ears
multiply
before my eyes
Breaking Out Of Darkness
a shaft of light settleson the blue diamond delphiniumsaved from the pounding rain
In The Morning Light
the buds, the blooms
the finished ones
cosmos telling life’s story
Trinity In The Vetch
sturdy, cheerful, simplicity
such grows in wild abandon
self-seeding beauty
Fountainhead
absorbing the sun
to ripen the seed
the original source
has no other needs
Garden Verse
the garden
finds her
angle of repose
I Saw
the hollyhock
listening
to time fleeting
I Do
summer weds itself
carrying bouquets
of sweet william
Meadow Surf
swells of color
summer’s current
these flowering wave sets
Poppies
cacophony of colors
a wild flowering
abandoned to joy
Nature’s Time
flowering sundial
it’s gnomon
the coulds
Jumping Up
exaltation
of summer’s
many tiny joys
The Garden Bench
in morning shade
watching
a summer day unfold
With Neither Seeds Nor Flowers
Fern’s
curly world
unfurling
I Remember
spring
the delicate
insistence of delight
Friendly Face
the daffodil
shares her smile
offering much needed cheerfulness
Chosen By Light
the sun’s light
shifts towards spring
expired blooms bloom again
