our beloved tree
a great green umbrella
offering shade and sanctuary
Shelter From The Blistering Sun
They Remember Youth
the old rose
and the old barn
share an elegance of aging
Elegant Service
a pink cup
holding cream fringe
an offering of splendor
Simplicity
orange pansy
a magnificence
of minimalism
A World Of Purple
separate plants
find kinship
in color
Definition
known by
the outlined edges
of her boundaries
Snow In Summer
flurry
of white blooms
a storm of beauty
And Flowers In The Sky
like drops of sunshine
the yellow roses
shine on garden
Deep Dive
iris and poppy
plumb the depths
of color
The Light Within
at certain moments
the source
can be seen
Worth
the spent rose
her value in beauty
undiminished
Attitude
astonishingly life-like
the scarecrow accesses
the veggies progress
A Perfection
of design
and gradients
of hue
Second Bloom
this time
raindrops bloom
into shimmering flowers
Portrait Of The Iris
a stately classic
who often surprises
with her sly insouciance
Aspirations Of Spires
blooming
higher and higher
until heaven is reached
Wildfire
racing through the garden
carried by the wind
columbine’s wild flames
Flock Of Trillium
in they flew
on angel wings
or so it seems
Sweet Rise
early morning
held in spring’s
caress of innocence
Recluse in ClapBoard
shy yellow house
her sun blinded window eyes
squinting through the blooms
It Was Said In Blossoms
three paragraphs
in blue and pink and white
is how spring told her story
An Echo Of Yellow
blossoms calling
back and forth
across the garden bed
Curlicues
each frond
a question
just forming
The Ephemerals
more marvelous
due to
their fleeting nature
The Bloom’s Muse
a glory of tulips
the crabapple’s inspiration
to burst into bloom
Lichen Rose
flower heads
slightly bowed
in reverence to the rain
The One With Many Names
sand flower, windflower, prairie smoke
heralding spring and symbolic of old age
she’s of everything
Psychic
the four pawed palm reader
divines
daffodils soon to bloom
Behold
each tiny bloom
declaration and celebration
of spring’s return
The Steel Heron Presides
ah April
with her sunshine and snow
everything waiting to see which way it goes
