perhaps it was the wind
that transferred a touch of flaming red
to your buttery petals
Proximity
Spring Visited The Nightstand
as tender administrations
of fragrance and delicacy
to accompany waking and dreaming
Tulip Sun
yellow, glowing, abundance
in these cosmos
creeping phlox encircle you
With Inside Voices
tulips whisper
back and forth
about buttercup yellow
Tulips Beginning
an abstraction
of themselves
leaves bloom like petals
The Bloom’s Muse
a glory of tulips
the crabapple’s inspiration
to burst into bloom
Spring Fling
the rock garden
a riot of color
bursting into bloom
Friendly Conversation
greetings
from the tulips
as the violets wander by
Those Girls
chorus line of tulips
all high kicks
and red lipstick
Celestial Sphere
constellation of blooms
bees orbit
the purple planet
Together
side by side
synchronicity
of bending blooms
Exuberance of Sun and Bloom
formal garden
confines created
to illuminate abundance
Garden Teachings
an instruction of
peaceful coexistence
tulips befriend the dandelions
A Toast
drink
from the goblet of color
to beauty – fair and fleeting
