like a hand
reaching back
for seeds too scatter
The Finished Bloom
The Mesosphere Nearby
inside the mallow’s bloom
a kind of shooting star
beauty streaking past
Open
unfurl yourself
be bold with fragilities
and the compliments of complexities
Mentored By The Hibiscus
noticing the beauty
of each petal’s fine, intricate lines
new acceptance of my own
Althea
a bit of a strumpet
flaunting her trumpet
enticing hummingbirds and bees
Trio Of Pairs
sunshine clapboards and goldenrod
pink hibiscus and joe pye weed
shingled roofs with pine needles
Summer Is
a red lipped maiden
leaving kisses
on the sundial
Holy Is Our Green Space
the garden wears a halo
her given name ~
hibiscus
Appreciation
The butterfly, cow and flower

on the day
