a lace of thorns
such fierce protection
the wild rose grows
Structure of Spirit
with all of youth departed
the essence laid bare
great beauty remains
La Luna
the night
left behind
half of the moon
Declaration
every edge
announced itself
declaring place in space
Beauty Berry
as the landscape mutes
and colors recede
one last glory
Portent
putting the garden to bed
a startling glimpse of spring
the foreshadowing anemone
Tropical Darling
how is it
you bloom in October
in zone 4b?
Flickering
fairy candle
lights the way
into autumn’s darkening days
Speaking in Colors
conversing
with the maple
autumn confidences
Unfolding
news beauty unfolds
as time and growth
reveals and renews
Encountered
emerald green
seldom seen
frog king
Trilogy
three
installments of
the pumpkin’s tale
Blaze
basking in
the autumn sun
colorful blaze of dahlia days
Veil
spider spins
a spiritual veil
between heaven and earth
In the Shelter Of A Tree
eavesdropping
on the conversation
between the water and the rain
Deerdra
your garden is delicious
please may I
have some more?
Twins
double bloom
two white moons
light in light
Embossed
diamondized by dew
pink with sparkle
morning’s kiss
See Sedum
shaboom
she blooms
succinct and succulent
Below the Surface
in the still beneath
rain is a caress
water’s breath
Autumn’s Palate
September’s beauty burns
in red and orange and brown
Life Blood
wet from rain
chard veins
pulse with life
Picking Garden
by arm fulls
gather up the yards
of scented colors
The Glory of Rain
blue umbrella
opens out
to cradle the rain
Poppy Tops
thrice she gives…
this flower after the bloom
and then her rain of seed
Ask
peace is found
in answer to
what can I give
Downy in the Garden
a pause
from the pecking
resting on the rail
Clematis, Her Majesty
queen of the flowering vines
reigns in robes of royal purple
Apprecaited
beauty lies
in the fine lines
and twinkling of crinkles
Source
lift and push
servant and master
well be the well
