every side
her best side
Bloom In Profile
Portrait Of A Delphinium
backdropped by the black of shade
the meadow rue observes
an elegant blue lady
Holding Space
summer’s ghost
saving a place
for her corporeal self
Portrait Of A Tree In Winter
a dark stark elegance
cloaks leafless branches
and incubates the unseen green
The Gladiola
a lipstick before you open
a wide seductive smile in bloom
a last kiss before you leave
Roadside Attractions
in the blue
puffs and fluff travel by
as sumac colors by the barn
a portrait of autumn New England
Beauty Of The Spent Bloom
grace remained
even after
your youth departed
Green Refuge In A Houseplant
petals or leaves
self or shadow
beauty is beauty
There You Are
dodging raindrops
amongst the pansies
posing in a frame of leaves
we are friends I believe
Oh To Be
full of light
and flourishing
in the dead of winter
Becoming Invisible
holding completely still
the bird’s mantra
I am one of the leaves, I am one of the leaves
Homage To Christina’s World
portrait of the dog
as unwitting
model
Three Ingredients
a summer portrait
of New England
allium, clematis, clapboard
Portrait Of A Tulip Aflame
stepping from the shade
blazing, blazing
like the sun
Daffodil In Profile
a floral vanity
the consciousness
of one’s best side
Summer Is
a red lipped maiden
leaving kisses
on the sundial
Self Conscious
left
is my best
side
Portrait Of The Iris
a stately classic
who often surprises
with her sly insouciance
Blue Only At The Edges
anomaly
of the blue diamond
a new perfection
Bluebird So Soft
bright eyed
in a blue sky
hope personified
Swoop
into flight
the darting and diving
of feathered days
Cardinal
sighting you
brings delight
as deep as your color
Oh Dahlia
lady in red
takes
her star turn
Breaking Out Of Darkness
a shaft of light settleson the blue diamond delphiniumsaved from the pounding rain
Thistle By The River
in the wind
whistling
as water passes
Those Two Iris
they leaned
into each other
as lovers often do
Unselfconscious
daffodil’s humility
amplifies
her magnificence
Owl In Blue
sharp cold
ruffling feathers
and solitary thoughts
Greetings
a muzzle’s nuzzle
good wishes
for the day
Sunflower Sunshine
impossible
not to bask
in her light
