winter’s rose flowers
amidst the falling snow
amongst the frozen grass
On the Stoop
black cat and pink pumpkin
wait for halloween’s
ringing of the doorbell
Contained
birch vase holds
blooms and departures
the fall bouquet
Embossed
diamondized by dew
pink with sparkle
morning’s kiss
Picking Garden
by arm fulls
gather up the yards
of scented colors
Downy in the Garden
a pause
from the pecking
resting on the rail
Pink In The Field
cavorting crown vetch
a flowering thicket
coloring summer’s carefree days
Sweet Hellenium
curly top
lollipop
bonbon of colors
Paradox
set free
by the fence
uninhibited and unafraid
delphinium bloom with abandon
Procession
ascending blooms
parade color
across summer
Generosity
big hearted cosmos
ask so little and yet
bloom and bloom again
Petal Prayers
pink petaled benediction
blessed the time and tending
of the garden’s enduring grace
Celebration of Ordinary Days
long stalked blooms
dance in the breeze
garden party
Summer Home Solstice
in the kindness
of June’s gentle sun
babies feather and iris bloom
Found
when work is joy
your calling is found
Open
blushing bud
opens to claim
full pure beauty
En Masse
a pink cascade
rushes over
rocks
Volunteers
the sweet cheery faces
of happiness helpers
candy striped phlox
Brief Visit
spring wears white
in polkadot leaves and petal snow
until the wilting sun asks her to go
Strike Up The Band
a violet and white
parade of quaker ladies
adorns May’s main street
Prosperity of Petals
exquisite elegance
the flowering tree
animates abundance
Morning Song
robin
in the garden bed
fundamental joy
Conversion
raindrops on snowdrops
and so the seasons change
Worthy Weed
disparage not the dandelion
who blooms in hope with wishes
Wave of Blue
beneath barbed wire
spring infiltrates
the woods
Declared
sun shoulders out the snow
last years blooms trumpet
beauty’s determination
First Stirrings
seeds slumber while
forced bulbs bloom
in late winter’s light
Corsage for March
pinned upon
the white gown of March
dressing early for the spring fling
Last Song
late blooms sing
a yellow serenade
to summer and her sunshine
Carrying the Torch
as the sun retreats
yellow petaled flowers
carry the torch for summer’s shine
