from the vegetable bed
a purple tree arises
king of nutrients
kale be thy name
Towering
Steadfast
while garden beds are sleeping
there’s you blooming
in grand abundance
May Storm
new leaves
and tender perennials
shiver beneath a blanket of snow
The Garden’s Shape Emerges
spring begins
with a kaleidoscope
of greens
In Sync With The Landscape
the garden bed
and puppy
curve
A Wishbone Branch
will spring
or snow
get the bigger piece?
Summer Blooms Summon Fall
the garden’s call of color
an invitation
to the leaves to turn
Contemplation And The Bench
the empty bench
holding space
for all of my thoughts
Frog On The Toadstool
I’ll do
what I want
is his only thought
The Garden At Noon
from the shade
I take a long drink
of her colors
For The Bees
the garden bed
a candy store
offering lavendar lollipops
Everything Rises
as morning sidles
to the edge of the garden
the gingko bows to the day
A Subtle Flourish
above
last year’s leaves
a complexity of delight
Promise
yellow tipped
leaves
presage daffodils
Tiger Lily
big cat
of the flower bed
wearing leopard spots
The Cosmos of Poppies
our Mars
orbiting
the garden bed
Classical Bloom
pillars
of spring
the white iris
Those Girls
chorus line of tulips
all high kicks
and red lipstick
Garden Party Games
shadow show
solomon seal entrances
trillium
Waking
sleepy heads
dewy eyed bulbs
rise from the garden bed
Omnivore
who knew?
chipmunks are
the early birds
Snowdrops In Shadow
emergence
from the darkness
hope’s spring eternal
All Is Now
when the garden blooms
memories of winter
are exiled
Present
iris bow
sun shines
season’s first offering
How the Garden Grows
merry little breezes dance
as sunshine plays the tune
while flowers raise their sleepy heads
from their garden beds
Beauty Bunch
the smiling eyes
of daffodils
early girls of spring
April Snow
night’s white blanket
tucked in all the green
the garden bed is cozy cold
