forsythia in bloom
throwing open
the proverbial garden gate
Welcome, Welcome
Old Barn First Witness
a clapboard background to
the enduring rite of spring
sunshine as forsythia
Resplendent
each branch
a beam of light
forsythia on a cloudy day
Cardinal In The Forsythia
he stops by
to encourage
the first blooms
Unbowed
in a tangle
of dead wood and time
an undaunted greening and flowering
Eager to Work
stalled by a cold snap
the red rake
by the arbor waits
Sun Flower
forsythia’s petal rays
in sunburst bloom
warm the landscape
Forsooth
forsythia entwined
among the limbs
of her beloved
Garland
Forsythia fleetingly adorns
ever enduring granite.
Forsythia
Before the sky is reliably blue
before the fields have greened
forsythia champions Spring.
