seed wings
as snow flakes
goldenrod in a flurry
A Sort Of Snow Flower
Time’s Allotment
old goldenrod and evergreens
holding the inbetween
of seasons
Elegance
the graceful
bending
of acceptance
Queen Anne and Goldenrod
the meadow
arranges
a fall display
Sparkle
in the right light
from even the worn and humble
beauty emanates
Goldenrod Gone By
in the cold
old blooms
imitate snow
Too Soon To Say Goodbye
like summer
we linger
by the fencepost
Through
lone birch
shone the way
through dark woods
Foreshadowing
winter waited
at the edge
of the changing meadow
Reminiscence
goldenrod in winter
summer’s memory keeper
Deerdra
your garden is delicious
please may I
have some more?
Emergence
wisdom lies
in the embrace
of not knowing
Goldenrod in January
gone
are her golden
inflorescences
leaving only loveliness
Unity
keeping things together
rather than apart
the old fence embraces
autumn’s abundance of goldenrod
Deference
A spray of goldenrod
bows to autumn’s arrival.
Bonsai
At the edge of the forest
where enchantment begins
grows a tiny tree of goldenrod.
Pod Gall
The gall of the flying guest
who leaves behind his bulbous nest
but goldenrod the gracious host
welcomes insects more than most.
Goldenrod
Knighted by Queen Anne
Goldenrod is a nobleman
loyal guardian of Her Majesty’s meadow.
