on the thistle
the soft atop the bristle
Exceeding Expectations
deemed ordinary
delivering a spectacle
oh the muchness of marigolds
Tender Hearted
amidst her silver foliage
fine and fancy hearts
on the garden’s sleeve
Just After The Sun Rose
flew by
trailing magic
Like Walking To School Through The Blossoming Orange Grove
delicate and delectable
it transports me back to childhood
Abstraction
deconstructed
potent as ever
The Iris Departing
spiral
into themselves
Four Of The Eight Spots
wears
orange epaulets
Main Line
down the leaf
to the root of things
It Was The Thorns
shed
two tiny tears
Simplicity As Palette
is a minimalist
with a grand presentation of form
Surely Shirley The Poppy
purple and orange
pizzaz
The Curvature Of Color
shifted and changed
as they traversed the iris’s curves
The Delicate Alongside The Enduring
delivers
petals against granite
Petaled Pinwheel
which turns
without turning
Vibrant As The Sun
and brought me
with it
She Wears
with which
to charm the bees
Whimsey
an effervescence
of delight
Demure
woodland trillium
blushes
The Spider’s Muse
the tulips for inspiration
before she began spinning.
Clouds On A Tree
the cosmos
could be touched
In The Dirt
call for joy
the day transformed
Quaker Ladies
in the meadow
sharing kindnesses
Intensity
the tulip
passionate with color
Fresh Start
of a new day
glinting
Wild Strawberries
with frost
before the berries
The Sad Flower Made Happy
the heart’s bloom
when forgiven
Between The Tulips And The Iris
tiny explosion
a potency
of blue
Early And Late
alternately
April blooms in
petals and snow
The Nest
woven with care
so fledging feet
will remember softness
