in detail, color, design
a glory
before Fall

of the joy
in being alive
Spinning
Magic
stop sign
tread slowly
fairyland ahead
Leaf Life
visible
within the veins
the pulse of life
Divulged
modesty revealed
in the pinking
of edges
Zinnia In Portrait
she turned
her best side
to face the sun
Evening Chrysanthemums
pink petals
soft and fluttering
like the beginnings of dreams
Lily Listening
there was music
in the lily’s
colored movement
Expansion
vastness
contained in
the small center
Pink Haze
with the slightest breeze
these watercolor wands
paint the landscape pink
Gloriosa
all glory
to the daisy
intrepid and true
Do Not Disturb
the message clear
from the small butterfly’s
side eye
Forest Herringbone
the warp and weave
of fern fronds
with shadow and light
Pure And Lovely
beauty and mystery
expressed
in petaled multiplicity
Buttercup
your magic glow
shining love
on the chin of the world
The Petaled Sun
I imagine
the seeding dandelion
is your moon
Red Begonia
if fire
was a flower
it would be you
Allium Here And Gone
your delicate intricacies
did not depart
with your bloom
Variance Of Variegation
painted like
a picket fence
anomaly of white
Within The Spiral
be like a bee
close enough to see
pink transformed to red
Memories Amass
like days
in a life
recollections accrue
forget-me-not
Touch Of Pink
the barest blush
on petals
an exclamation
of the stigma
To Be What You Desire
the magic of these mushrooms
as they fruit themselves
into flowers
How Beauty Lasts
each tiny part
opens in its own time
a progress of perfection
Like The Sun Itself
shining light
banishing doubt
declaring joy
Yellow Roses
in celebration of ordinary days
picked from your mother’s yard
you would bring them often
and for no particular reason
Declared
so many hearts
on the garden’s sleeves
love abounds for everything
We Adore Her
primrose
the first rose
our maiden of May
Pink
pink rises
from the pale
until completely self saturated
