tools rest in the shed
by raised unmade beds
waiting for warmth to be trustworthy
Horse And Garden
Make Holy The Housework
while the laundry dries
let it be perfumed
by summer blooms
Painterly Spirit
splashes of color
across the lawn
Pollock’s spirit in the garden
All Of The Universe Became One
the sky
sinks her toes deep
into the tender new grass
Flowering Light
like the sun
forsythia an orb of light
rising from the April lawn
Dawdling Days
the calendar says October
but it is still summer
in the side yard
A Fountain Of Leaves
the planted planter
a growing statuary
cascading green
The Garden Stairs
slowly we take the steps
reluctant to reach
the peak of bloom
A Colorful Hospitality
profusion of bloom
the welcoming committee
come in, come in
A Litle Help From A Friend
the dear crabapple
lifting up the grey clouds
to let a little light in
Orchestra Of Colors
lily’s song of joy
resounding in the misty morn
pink overture to a summer’s day
Fairy Napkins
found in the morning lawn
the fairy napkins left behind
evidence of their starlight soiree
Welcome Wild Neighbors
garden in the woods
a birdbath to feed
hawk and deer
Sea Of Green
a froth of fern
meets the garden shore of grass and sunshine
wave sets of trees gather in the distance
Run Off
snow melt heads
back to to the aquifer
water always finds its way
The Light Like A Kiss Goodbye
sneaking in
beneath the storm
a caress of light and warmth
Family Tradition
the old wagon
all summer long
a spectacle of bloom
Galloping By
in all ways
she came
from the woods
Like The Blue Guitar
the blue watering can
making poetry
out of the garden’s elements
The Garden’s Green Surf
the shade
like wave sets
crashing on the lawn
Azalea’s House
her gorgeous bloom
an invitation
for admiration
Violets In The Lawn
an open invitation
to pollinators
come and stay awhile
The Formal Garden
fall has taken
most of her flowers
but not her elegance
On The Porch
in the peacefulness
it is possible
to dream as big as the sky
After The Rain
every blade of grass
is a tiny torch
of guiding light
Alfresco
without reservation
the table waits for
our laughter and crumbs
Hot Spot
burning bright
on a freezing morn
Ascension
stone steps
footprints of pink and green
Apple Tree Offering
heavy with ripeness
presenting gifts
The Yard In Autumn
rest
on the lawn
