cooling down
in the petal shade
of the mid-day sun
Stopping By The Marigolds
A Fountain Of Leaves
the planted planter
a growing statuary
cascading green
Unity
sharing a fundamental intimacy
the butterfly and marigold
depend upon each other
Dressing For The Season
marigold’s
winter coat
is made of cold
The Chipmunk’s Mediation
perched upon
the dahlia stake
contemplating plenty
Definition
known by
the outlined edges
of her boundaries
Final Harvest
autumn sun
a singular hum
of work being done
Exceeding Expectations
deemed ordinary
delivering a spectacle
oh the muchness of marigolds
Not Done Yet
sweet September
unwilling to let
summer’s party fade away
Portrait of Summer
eternal rock
seasonal bloom
a passing butterfly
Interlude
time stopped
eternity unraveled
in a visit to a petal
Dichotomy
firebrand
of flowers
aflame in the rain
Raincoat
Marigold glistens
in the rain
her colors intensified
Yield
The garden’s harvested bounty
carries a weary spirit towards spring
in the colors of dried petals and the promise of seeds.
Auspiciousness
Marigold is the sun’s bride,
the guardian of goodness
at the garden’s gate.
