with Fibonacci”s sequence
and beauty’s unfurling spiral

The August Garden
drinking in humidity
and transforming heat
into color

late summer blooms
inveigle
autumn’s turn
Distance
paints with a soft brush
the sunny union
of the zinnia and the butterfly

her welcome
always joyous
and abundant
Music’s Bloom
rhythm of orange
syncopated
by hue

your bloom
before the bloom
foretelling of design
Staying Up A little Longer
continued blooms
the garden’s excuse
not to be put to bed
Selfless Service
cut
and come again
generosity of zinnia
The Day is Full of Gifts

a moment
in the sun
Shout of Color
unexpected
burst of joy
zinnia in orange
After the Bloom
Her color’s retired
the beauty of sparseness
revealed

At the center of things
complexity appears simple.

Summoned by common color
a zinnia is the butterfly’s
landing pad.
