growing dragon tails

Other Ways To Swim
light pools
in the shade garden
my mood dives into happiness

quench the thirst
for beauty by
drinking in her loveliness
Mid-June
the garden comes into herself
and is as self realized
as the poppy is vibrant

casting light
creating shelter
from gloom
June Wedding
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
Quaker Ladies
they gathered
in abundance
to worship spring
So Many Things At Once
a tomato
a fiery sunset
a vixen’s red lip wear
oh begonia you beguiler
Granite Garden Path
walk the sun warmed stone
admire the colorful creep of phlox
perceive spring’s unfolding
Winged Bloom
in white and pink
the trillium releases
her flock of butterflies
The Bloom Of Light
after many gray days
the sun itself
is a flower
and a flower
is a mirror
to the sun
Biltmore Ballgown
oh you
in your fancy dress
ready to twirl in the garden
Pretty Precipitation
petal shower
at the meadow’s edge
so many kinds of rain
The Radiance Is You
when the day is dim
make your own light
with the colors you share
Sea Of Iris
spring’s tide rises
the iris swell
incubating their bloom wave
Wind Flower Witness
bright yellow eye
with ruby lashes
watching the day unfold
Reassurance
constants
the river, the mountain
the flowers return
the renewal of spring
Rock Garden Early Risers
beneath the arch
of bleeding hearts
grapes of hyacinth
Finally The Sun Came Out
after so many days of rain
there is warmth and light
and the earth rises up
in color and hope
Hen And Chic Mosaic
the garden
tiled in succulents
a resounding repetition
Skeleton Bloom
sacred relic
from last year
a blueprint for new blooms
As Necessary As Joy
May rain
like the tears
that cleanse the soul
First In The Garden
to the old oak leaves
piled by the wind
spring offers a pink bouquet
