every petal unfurled
a painting in itself
the bud a well of color
Is A Rose
Dress Up Just For Yourself
ordinary rock
adorned with
lichen lace ruffle
Interior Time
winter’s internal seasons
of snow then rain
and so it all begins again
April’s Gait
out of the damp
into spring’s light
coltsfoot canters
The Caress of Blossom
closed buds pucker
petals preparing for
their showering of kisses
Sudden Appearance
blush topped
and procelean stemmed
magic
