hens and chicks
multiplying themselves
hue after hue
Repetition
Expressions
the violas smile
so fresh and full
revel in their joyful greeting
Her Majesty
she wears
a crown of raindrops
crocus queen of spring
How To Strut In Place
like a peacock
pussy willow fans
its fuzzy plumage
Always With A Flourish
nothing
is ever too old
for the delight of ruffles
Brightened By
a joy like the joy
of seeing an old friend
the cheering effect of pansies
Right Angles
nature
the master
mathematician
Leave-taking
nearly translucent
the unveiling of
beauty’s fragility
More Then A Leaf
up close
you are a
home grown Rothko
Masquerade
small pruned branch
with fungi cap
mushroom imposter
Marvel
an icy lace
melting and magnifying
making a mosaic of Monday
Frond
a ray of light reached into the kitchen
highlighting every detail
of your design
Splendid Ending
passing through
the fullness
of bloom
Commence
in the warmth
of a February sun
poppies have begun
A Map Of Time
every line and mar
documenting
the leaf’s life
First Glance
the garden appeared empty
but beauty sought
is beauty found
In Outlines
tracing time
and its
continuous expansion
Winter Nosegay
cyclamen blooms
who knew
they would last and last
To Thy Own Self
a leaf revealed
in the decomposing bark
spirit endures
Oh To Bloom On
November sun transforms
the frost on the mums
into tears of joy
The Fall
colors being absorbed
by roots
already nourishing spring
Two Red Feathers
the wild rose takes flight
her last bloom
red feathers
Portal
on the other side
of the dew revealed web
resides the insects micro universe
The Last To Bloom
more beloved are these
for their magnanimity
in the dwindling garden
My Purple Satellite
circling the the garden
receiving sun
sending color
The Aubergines Progression
the blossom
the bud and beginning
develop into a full fruited becoming
Beyond A Name
dahlia petals proving
to call them red
is just an attempt
at an indescribable description
Open
unfurl yourself
be bold with fragilities
and the compliments of complexities
I Bloom For Butterflies
there is one heart
I wish to make sing
the one with the artfully painted wings
The Hollyhock Reserved
the bloom demures from view
what trust and courage it must take
to reveal the source of your enigmatic state
