seemingly spun
out of air
so delicate and sweet
Like Cotton Candy
They Meet Each Spring
enduring rock
perpetual phlox
kindreds
A Subtle Flourish
above
last year’s leaves
a complexity of delight
Sweet William’s Courtship
bouquet
in a bloom
perennial suitor
Bright Spot
early and delicate
light rises
from the dark ground
My Darling Rose
wild grows
my perennial love
her precious winter bloom
Spring’s Sentry
Creeping phlox
sneaks up the mountain
stalking the last of the frost.
Traveler’s Joy
Darling of the door yard garden
clematis climbs up and along the picket fence;
most brilliant and ingenious buttercup.
Bulbs
Oh daffodil!
Perennial forbearer of Spring,
keeper of faith.
