small and simple
yet a delight of details
waiting to catch your attention
Happiness
Petaled Lanterns
the afternoon
becomes
a pink illumination
Tulip Sun
yellow, glowing, abundance
in these cosmos
creeping phlox encircle you
They Make The Sunshine
let the flowers
light
the way
Joy
sometimes joy leaps up
in my heart
like crocus from the ground
With Inside Voices
tulips whisper
back and forth
about buttercup yellow
Tulips Beginning
an abstraction
of themselves
leaves bloom like petals
Imperative
flowers in March
the grocery store
suffices for the garden patch
Amarylis Did
with her stamens
she motioned me closer
come admire my details
My Orange Sun
warming me
with color
on these gray days
Power
forcing bulbs seem
to speed the arrival
of spring
Oh To Be
full of light
and flourishing
in the dead of winter
Finding Flowers
dried by time
soaked by winter
and still blooming
Summer Will Not Be Forgotten
a final
brilliant bloom
burned into memory
Steadfast
while garden beds are sleeping
there’s you blooming
in grand abundance
Wearing The Blush Of Cold
succulent roses
tenacious as barnacles
cling to the end of autumn
Reward
brought inside
before the hard frost
a bloom of recompence
To The Hydrangea
cold
is a kind
of coloring stick
As One
October rose
basked in the sun
I basked in her beauty
Within Reach
yesterday’s sunrise
appeared again
in today’s dahlia
Sunshine’s Sunshine
namesake
the goddess
of energy and light
Generosity
rain and roses
more gifts
from September
Amongst Blooms
in the petaled shade
a monarch’s
momentary pause
Still Strong
time worn petals
do not detract
from her stellar vibrancy
Times Of Stark Relief
the light
of a certain kind
of sunflower night
Daydreams
the world
is muted and precise
all at once
Brightened
petaled lumens
mood lighting
the landscape
Rose Interior
rain drops gather
on the inner sanctum
of beauty
A Second Bloom
the imperative
to seed
intensifies the color
Blossom’s Bouquet
ever clever
hydrangea creates
a bouquet within her blossom
