morning comes
to the dahlia sun
rousing the sleeping bee
Sedum View
to see
what flowers see
the expanding harmonies
Garden Bench
in the company
of dahlias
beauty rests
Mysteries of the Color Wheel
sisters hold the secret
of simultaneously being
magenta and scarlet
Dahlia in the Daises
bright blooms
autumn afternoons
departing soon
Stand Out
spotlight of sun
backdrop of woodland shade
flowering stalk takes a star turn
Lighted By A Flowering Torch
summer dims
yet light shines on
in the garden
Rise and Fall
foam of flowers
waves of blooms
the garden’s tide
Flowering Light
perfectly composed
by the side of the road
sunshine and shade
Delphinium’s Heron
stillness
at the fence post
bookend for blossoms
Sweets
ice cream
garden party
snapdragon parfaits
House and Garden
in the meadow
between the two
room for all of life
Roadside Greetings
joyful
shouts of color
to cheer the passersby
Bloom Sounds
pink pow
of mountain laurel
pop pop pop
Forget Me Not
quiet request
said
in blue
Columbine Consecration
garden prayers
in the morning light
a flowering devotion
All Is Now
when the garden blooms
memories of winter
are exiled
How the Garden Grows
merry little breezes dance
as sunshine plays the tune
while flowers raise their sleepy heads
from their garden beds
Cheered On
the faltering spirit
finds footing and support
in the solace of the garden
Spring Ephemeral
quiet quaker ladies
in their bonnets of blue
praising beauty
Eden
in this paradise
of new colors
apples are still flowers
Invited
bulb garden
in the door yard
the outside’s invitation in
The Garden’s Sleeve
early spring
the garden wears
her heart on her sleeve
Iris Answers to All Names
undaunted by
a still cold wind
lavender flags fly
Flower Found
a winter rose
pink petal bark
the birch in bloom
The Plenty
how can I miss the flowers
when every leaf’s in bloom
fall bouquets abound on trees
Interlude
time stopped
eternity unraveled
in a visit to a petal
Constant
amidst the world’s
noise and confusion
aster blooms in profusion
Bird and Babe
inside
the flowering
white ring of innocence
Doormen
dahlias at the gate
ushering us into the world
welcoming us home
