the closer I look
the more my view expands
and resonates with memories
Nearer To Thee
Evolution Of A Bloom
opened and yet closed
the very center
still to reveal all its complexities
A Heart Can Hold Everything
shadow bird
perched inside
the lily’s heart
Amarylis Did
with her stamens
she motioned me closer
come admire my details
Rocketship
speeding towards
the setting of seed
destination perpetuity
Worth
the spent rose
her value in beauty
undiminished
The Petunia Looking Back
deep inside
a piercing
green eye
Form’s Fragility
delicate intricacy
each part
depending on the next
She Was My Valentine
one more
amaryllis
kiss
Subzero Heat
siren’s call
across the frozen landscape
red hot red
Look
two bright poppy eyes
one wears shade
mascara-ed stamens
Flowering Sundial
time
is measured
by the lily’s shadow
Purple Reign
purple crown
the sovereign rule
of poppy’s bloom
First
among the many
only one is
first to bloom
See Sedum
shaboom
she blooms
succinct and succulent
Hester’s Pride
amaryllis, amaryllis
scarlet maiden
stakes her claim
