presiding over
this convent of flowers
dedicated protector of insects and blooms
The Garden’s Guardian
The Still Green Path
wander along the waning meadow
beside busy insects gathering
and seeds scattering
Made Sacred By Intention
the faithful offering
of careful thought and tending
for vegetable starts and insects
They Covered It With Flowers
discarding bark
beetles carve
a bas-relief
Portal
on the other side
of the dew revealed web
resides the insects micro universe
In The Flowering Meadow
in tandem
the soft caress of blossoms
the hum of insects busy
doing the work of the world
An Insects Fair
cotton candy bee balm
one of many of
the outside’s delights
Black Beauty
each landing
a sacrament
of pollination
Garden Hostel
such fine accommodations
rooms tailored
to each wingeds need
Violets In The Lawn
an open invitation
to pollinators
come and stay awhile
Levels of Landscapes
here is where
the ants stop
and admire the view
Seen With A Sigh Of Awe
petals and wings
are ephemeral things
pulling on our heart strings
For Insects
once each year
some trees
bloom blue
Talking Sticks
tell
the woodland’s story
Appreciation
The butterfly, cow and flower
conferring beauty
on the day
Gathered and Dispersed
of monarchs
billows away
I Wanna Be A Bee
or perhaps a hummingbird
I’m a moth
with aspirations
Counterparts And Wings
on the thistle
the soft atop the bristle
To Dine On Beauty
oh to hover in the flowers
and sip the sweetness
from every one
Spring Morning In The Garden
of delicacies
for eyes and insects
Dahlias In The Background
bookends of summer
monarchs on
Buddleia
Apparition
veiled in a silken web
the ghost appears
before the death
Hummingbird Moth
hovering
without the hum
unfeathered fuzzy one
Red Bug
tiny
stop sign
go, go, goes
Mining
mother load
wing-ed ones
gold rush
Butterfly Alighted
small moment
enlarges
the day
Resting Dragonfly
life’s toll
taken
on tatter wings
Stages
the beauty
inside
yet to be seen
Sweet Goodbye
final visit
to the last
of the lilacs
Many Shades
blue on blue
butterfly in
the bachelor buttons
