all wants
and wishes
realized
When The Garden Is Full
By The Barn
white foam
of the wildflowers’ wave
splashing on the meadow
Two Sisters
the clover and the dahlia
more similar than different
yet each particular to herself
The Garden Stairs
slowly we take the steps
reluctant to reach
the peak of bloom
Worn Wing
life takes
and yet the swallowtail
still flies
Swept Clear
this fast moving sky
whisked away
all worries
The Queen And Her Constituents
without the wild
and abundant
nothing to reign over
Reaching Past The Rooftops
ambition
is the weed’s
decree
Delphinium With Hummingbird
a shared translucence
in petal and wing
delicate, determined things
A Place In The Sun
morning moves
the night aside, then
a spotlight just for you
House At The End Of Queen Anne’s Lane
a road of dirt
the flowers wild
this kingdom ruled by bees
Sunset Leaves
to the departing sky
each leaf of every tree
waves goodbye
Dependability
steady goes
petunia
stalwart in her blooms
Reiteration
amongst astilbe plumes
echo
bee balm blooms
Intimates
sweet nothings
the bee whispers
to the hollyhock’s bloom
Contemplation On The Branch
in dappled shade
beneath the whisp-ing clouds
hawkish thoughts
The Veil Lingers
in the softness
of a summer morning
the landscape still dreaming
The Sun And The Moon
before the moon
was done
the sun had begun
***
thin line of a bird
flying in the space
where night meets day
A Colorful Hospitality
profusion of bloom
the welcoming committee
come in, come in
Copious Bloom
tiger lily tealights
like candles
in the wind
Heather’s Pink Sunrise
braving night’s darknesses
arriving in the solace
of the pastel light
Tree Of Sweets
like cotton candy
sugar spun
from the morning sun
Lazy Days
summer rests
by the roadside
tall grass and clover
Vixen
smoldering
red lipped lily
pursed for a kiss
Water’s Laughter
bubbles giggle
as the brook
cascades
Mutual Compliments
yarrow wore
a crown of glory
bejeweled with delphinium
July At The Farm
spirits higher
than the clouds
corn is on the rise
A Garden Made Of Whimsey
scaredy cat
in red high heels
protecting herbs from birds
Pass Through
the opening itself
an invitation
to step into the light
Raised Beds
the starts have started
hope and weeding
precede the harvest
