flew by
trailing magic
It Was The Thorns
shed
two tiny tears
Waterfall Iris
over the garden
into the air
Surely Shirley The Poppy
purple and orange
pizzaz
The Curvature Of Color
shifted and changed
as they traversed the iris’s curves
The Delicate Alongside The Enduring
delivers
petals against granite
Petaled Pinwheel
which turns
without turning
Vibrant As The Sun
and brought me
with it
She Wears
with which
to charm the bees
Adorned
upon Buddha
a headdress of iris
Whimsey
an effervescence
of delight
Demure
woodland trillium
blushes
Intensity
the tulip
passionate with color
The Sad Flower Made Happy
the heart’s bloom
when forgiven
Early And Late
alternately
April blooms in
petals and snow
Exuberance
praise the amaryllis
injecting color
into winter
Defying The Elements
sweet hydrangea
her summer bloom lingers
on a honeycomb of petals
Form’s Fragility
delicate intricacy
each part
depending on the next
The Other Cabbage Rose
paradox of the purple bloom
petals holding both
snow and sun
Untamed Aster
such a freedom of flowering
her delicacy
beguiles her toughness
Depth Of Bloom
lit
from within
soul of the rose
Flame
ablaze
with color
tribute to summer
Wild
color
and form
undomesticated
Music’s Bloom
rhythm of orange
syncopated
by hue
I Saw
the hollyhock
listening
to time fleeting
Guilelessness
all of beauty’s
every sustenance
in the simple rose
Cosmo Macro
at the center
concentration
of life and color
Into The Deep
dive into
delphinium’s
blue depths
Propellers
ready
for take off
the flower drone
Ballerina
a petaled pirouette
peony’s
full turn
