we are so glad
you were forced to bloom
now scenting the house with early spring
A Gift Of Hyacinth
Another Gift
the day ended
by opening
into color and light
Imperative
flowers in March
the grocery store
suffices for the garden patch
Once And Again
the river delivers
a splash
of blue sky
Most Precious Gift
the cheer
of being
near each other
Azalea’s Final Gift
she saved
her best for last
in this bittersweet expressionism
Flowers From A Friend
I submerge into
the sweetness and solace
of scent and colors
Blue Velvet
a gift
of the cold
the sapphire sky
Apple Tree Offering
her limb
heavy with ripeness
presenting gifts
Another Gift Freely Given
a generous benefactor
the forest’s shade
on a hot summer day
Flowers From My Beloved
the sky
blossoms
into night
The Fence With Crabapple Finery
a blessing
of snow
slowing us into now
Small Packages
each bundle
of color
awaits its unwrapping
With An Open Heart
receive
the gift
of now
Parting Gift
sunflower
leaves her sunshine
behind
Ceaseless
gone are the flowers
gone are the seeds
and still she blooms
New Day
dawn unwraps
our precious gift
another new beginning
Indian Summer
When an October morning is gentle enough for bare feet
and the dew is but a cool kiss…these are gifts of Indian Summer.
