firebrand
of flowers
aflame in the rain
Razzle Dazzle
red zig zagged petals
rick racked in fuchsia
perfection of pinks
Sacred Emily
petals poised
in perfection
transcended by
her scent sublime
Unaccompanied
even in the solitude
every gesture mattered
conversation with self
Rocket’s Red Glare
poppies pop
an explosion of color
with pollen sparks
Lady Slipper
much ado
about the lady’s shoe
petal wings give feet flight
Peony Pleasures
swirl and twirl
of raspberry frappe
decadence mixed with delight
Modesty
so much
attention from the sun
petals blush
Dreamland
intoxicating
flutter and glow
a dreamland of poppies
The Seven Year Itch
poppy’s skirts
lifted by the wind
so like Marilyn
Iris Interior
inside
the bloom
symmetry and silence
Purple Iris Solo
in the stillness
every line and curved
danced
Awash in Colors
orange waves break
on the garden’s shore
the azalea is in bloom
Hedonist
a decadence
of earthly pleasures
oh the primrose path
The Decree
winter is banished
the branch in bloom
One Among Many
in the multitude of blossoms
five certain petals
called out: see me
Delicious
at spring’s visual feast
hyacinth offers
succulent colors to savor
Remembered
forget me not
the gentlest reminder of
the enormity of tiny pleasures
Coup
every bloom
a triumph
of joy
Color Sounds
a happy shout
of petal sunshine
the blooms of May begin
Defiance
vixen
in the window
refuses winter’s grey
Speaking in Colors
conversing
with the maple
autumn confidences
Within
the light
from within
is beauty eternal
Ask
peace is found
in answer to
what can I give
Apprecaited
beauty lies
in the fine lines
and twinkling of crinkles
Petal Pirouettes
responding to the breeze
and breath of bees and butterflies
an endless dance
Panache
each petal
wore a glimmer
of lavender
Duo
perfection squared
tandem bloom
of festiva maxima
Transcendence
grace
is the alchemy
that blooms the bud
Immersion
within
the depths
of bloom
