ah April
with her sunshine and snow
everything waiting to see which way it goes
The Steel Heron Presides
The Shadow Lace Of Bare Trees
on the dormant garden’s
bench
Pastimes
and bird feeder
play winter’s waiting game
We Will Gather Fabric Flowers
on the clothesline
the garden always giving
A View Of Winter
peer over
the wobbly fence
Hot Spot
burning bright
on a freezing morn
Graceful Exit
the leaving of self
behind
Ascension
stone steps
footprints of pink and green
Adieu Blue
more precious
for its passing
Cathy’s Chrysanthemums
each year bringing us
flowers to remember her with
The Yard In Autumn
rest
on the lawn
Snail’s Pace
ever so slowly
we tuck the garden in
Yellow House With Chrysanthemums
presided throughout
house and garden
Petal Flake Snowball
the snow
before the snow
While Monarchs Have Departed The Butterfly Bush Blooms On
the nourishment
of beauty
soul food
Intensity
not to be outdone
by turning maples
the stoplight dahlia
If Summer Could Go On Forever
sunflowers would
shine their cheerful light
through winter’s dark night
Frost Dodger
as summer wanes
each flower more precious
for the precariousness
At The Sunflower House
every size and kind
of sunflower
under the sun
Double Bloom
within the hibiscus
dianthus
also blooms
Savoring The Sunshine
summer has not yet
opened the gate
to fall
Contemplating Life
a good companion
is the flower
full of quiet and complexities
Feverfew By The Fence
an insurance
of immortality
Morning Glory
and swim in
your ocean of blue
Essential Elements
waits by stone bowl
filled with rain
Priscilla
demure and extravagant
she beguiles
Dizzy
in the garden
dizzy with glee
Culmination
sending curves into curls
and polka dots popping
A Complexity Of Symmetry
the center
echos the edges
Pink Moon
glowing all the day
sweet bella luna
