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
On The Night Stand
like a candle keeping
the dark, bitter winter
at bay
Dew On Dahlia
in autumn light
the finest finery
dew bedazzles
Last Dance
the garden offers
one last dance
of color
Companions
wild beauty
on the fence rail
a compliment to flowering weeds
Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate
at the flower’s
request
love and affection
The Garden Comes Inside
table bouquet
caressed
by a sunbeam
Sound Seen
the thrum
of wings hovering
stillness in motion
On The Terrace By The Connecticut
river rushes by
flowers take
their time
Daisies
humble daisies
holding up the world
with steadfast cheerfulness
Reassurance
tiny blue flowers
joy enough
to dispel doubt
Visit
sit awhile
and listen to
the flowers conversation
Purpose
beauty draws us
out of the darkness
into the light
Frog
in the birdbath
bathing
in sunshine
Written By The Garden
a poem
made of
space
Many Shades
blue on blue
butterfly in
the bachelor buttons
Garden Party Games
shadow show
solomon seal entrances
trillium
No Need To Ask
no longer here
yet everywhere
you are not forgotten
Passageway
through darkness
into light
the journey’s substance
Spring Squares Off With The Summer Sun
spring bulbs
duel the sun
high noon in the garden
Finding Purpose
seeking sun when young
making shade with age
the garden’s straw hat
Snowdrops In Shadow
emergence
from the darkness
hope’s spring eternal
Aflutter With Joy
heartbeat
of spring
crocus seen
Anticipation
blushing birch
a flowering
before flowers
My Darling Rose
wild grows
my perennial love
her precious winter bloom
What the Flowers Taught the Snow
aster’s blooms
each individualized
inspiration to snowflakes
Staying Up A little Longer
continued blooms
the garden’s excuse
not to be put to bed
On the Sideline
pompoms
of petaled color
cheering on fall
