one small corner of the world
made right
What Can Be Done
The August Garden
drinking in humidity
and transforming heat
into color
Perfect Pairing
the monarch
and the white hydrangea
made for each other
Garden Gaurdians
neither gargoyle nor griffin
still
they hold the guard
Garden Hostel
such fine accommodations
rooms tailored
to each wingeds need
Best Friends
no truer companion
to a picket fence
than the orange day lily
A Second Bloom
the imperative
to seed
intensifies the color
Hello
said the bunny
to the poppies
most delicious
Unity
sharing a fundamental intimacy
the butterfly and marigold
depend upon each other
Orbs Enchantment
a ray of morning light
makes magic
of the dew on dill
Faith In Flowers
all the ways of beauty
given
like an answered prayer
Revealed
she turned
one petal down
revealing her mysteries
of gradation and form
Forever
etched
into my heart
the vibrancy of bloom
Monologue In Pink
spotlight
in the shade garden
astilbe takes the stage
Inside The Moment
the peacefulness of morning
lingers like
dewdrops on a leaf
Oh To Be
a bug so small
a flower can be
made into your house
Her Reign Of Spring
peony the queen
presides
with pomp and circumstance
Could It Be
the details
on the butterfly’s wing
cast light instead of shadows
Galloping By
in all ways
she came
from the woods
Elbow Length
an extravagant
elegance
of foxglove
Resonance
the iris
an echo
of poppy’s orange
Like The Blue Guitar
the blue watering can
making poetry
out of the garden’s elements
The Garden’s Green Surf
the shade
like wave sets
crashing on the lawn
In The Simple The Divine
a single bloom
containing a universe
of beauty
Rose Flames
no need to light the torch
the yellow rose bush
is blazing
She Remains Near
Nana’s spirit
wafting through the garden
on the scent of roses
Three Ingredients
a summer portrait
of New England
allium, clematis, clapboard
The Garden’s Centerpiece
a peony bowl
petals
holding light
Always Thinking Of Others
the tree’s
last gift is to home
the lichen and fungi
Free Hand
the artist added
extra water
on the watercolored iris
