dirty petals
gathered round
protecting color
Inchoate
held tight
inside the bud
color gathers force
Cold Bur
frost still fills
the space we’ve saved
for the warming sun
Forbearance
spring’s green
biding her time
beneath the ice
Trimming
the eaves
wear a tatting of ice
fastened by a shuttle of cold
Falling
soft
and slowly
calm descends
Hens and Chicks
their
feather edges
serrated with frost
Swimming In Air
rose hips
octopuses
a garden masquerade
Structure Made Known
leaf’s skeleton
revealed
bright white backbone
Passing Beauty
rhubarb wanes
beautiful passing
precision of fragility
Enchantment
curving petal
the flower’s wink
magic in everything
Deliciousness
hot chocolate
on a cool morning
scented dahlia
Told in Silence
quiet perfection
unfolding, unfolding
a rhythm of pink and cream
Gazing into Eternity
thoughtful
wise eye
sees beyond
Pink Cyclone
whirlpool
of petals
color’s vortex
Regimental Colors
colour guard
young chard
ensign
Half and Half
sun falls
on the fern’s
summer side
Mysteries of the Color Wheel
sisters hold the secret
of simultaneously being
magenta and scarlet
Sun Gazer
unblinking
the most tender of petals
will reveal all
More Than She Seems
deception
of fragility
begonia in the fall
Selfless Service
cut
and come again
generosity of zinnia
Phlox Individuated
as blossoms wane
every member’s value
in the cluster grows
Presage of the Leaves
geranium begins
fall’s colors
creeping in
Serrated Shade
saw toothed
shadow
carving granite
The Day is Full of Gifts
take
a moment
in the sun
Great Green Loom
the garden
weaves a tapestry
of leaf and bloom
Tsuki Yori No Shisha
fibonacci’s code
strictly orders
the cacophony of frills
Gladness
holding
and emanating
the lightness of being
Sacred Community
green mosaic
masterpiece
of pieces
Look
two bright poppy eyes
one wears shade
mascara-ed stamens
