full
blue moons
orbiting beauty
Flowering Planet
Wearing Rings Like Saturn
from the forest floor
emerges
another universe
Plant Plumage
leaf feather
rooted to the earth
sailing on light
Plant’s Paw
the big
green footprint
of spring
Reminiscence
goldenrod in winter
summer’s memory keeper
Insomnia
before the toad
is ready to retire
the garden is put to bed
Who?
what berry be this
so boldly red
in its dead fern bed
kheer aur shakkar
during the final days
of summer’s heat
the hosta wears seersucker
Lightening Bolt Limbs
Akimbo and zigzag
energy
must be released.
Chartreuse Curves
With such bodacious leaves
there is no need to flower.
Fuzz
A fern frond
unfurls wearing
newborn fuzz.
