iris and poppy
plumb the depths
of color
Deep Dive
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
The Shadow Lace Of Bare Trees
sunshine rests
on the dormant garden’s
bench
Pastimes
the bench
and bird feeder
play winter’s waiting game
We Will Gather Fabric Flowers
color blooms
on the clothesline
the garden always giving
A View Of Winter
iris pods
peer over
the wobbly fence
Hot Spot
a maple ember
burning bright
on a freezing morn
Graceful Exit
in leaving
the leaving of self
behind
Ascension
sedum climbs
stone steps
footprints of pink and green
Adieu Blue
your intensity
more precious
for its passing
