one last hurrah
she blooms her leaves

by summer blooms

cheering on
the garden’s bloom

as the door yard basks
in summer’s heat
Garden Tapestry
the days
of summer
woven in leaves
Rabbit Ears
another new litter
pink and soft
listening, listening
Sound Seen
fire alarm
the begonia
a siren of red
Room For All
each blooms in their our own time
community’s beauty
someone is always flowering

does an iron spider
weave a web
of chain link fence?
Portrait Of A Delphinium
backdropped by the black of shade
the meadow rue observes
an elegant blue lady
Summer Sun
a string of white lights
bellflowers reaching
for the sun
Overheard
a quiet conversation
held amongst blue blooms
to honor the day with beauty

flowers keep watch
over the landscape’s rise
from its misty morning blanket

mother nature
ever attentive
to all the tiny details

the marvelous
garden monster
growing dragon tails

for beauty by
drinking in her loveliness

the garden comes into herself
and is as self realized
as the poppy is vibrant

casting light
creating shelter
from gloom

the chosen spot
for the marriage of lupin and iris
beneath a Chuppah made by trees

the leaf a living canvas
of shape and form
color and texture
Morning Meditation
Mable
on the porch
admiring the bleeding hearts
Music In Your Name
portulaca, portulaca
so much music in your name
to say it is to sing
Happiness
a smile spread
across the garden
pink azalea in bloom
Summer Flew In
June morning
the world opened wide
all possibilities expanded
In The Garden
sitting with
the flowers
my soul is at home
Allium Light And Dark
the depth
of light and dark
known best by the other
