Searching For Flowers

in winter
it is the snow
that blooms

Late Bloom

dahlia’s delicacy
in counterpoint
to fall’s exuberance

Petal Flake Snowball

white hydrangea
the snow
before the snow

While Monarchs Have Departed The Butterfly Bush Blooms On

the nourishment
of beauty
soul food

Intensity

not to be outdone
by turning maples
the stoplight dahlia

Double Bloom

within the hibiscus
dianthus
also blooms

In These Times

delicate bloom
in a vast sky
reassures

Contemplating Life

a good companion
is the flower
full of quiet and complexities

Feverfew By The Fence

the second bloom
an insurance
of immortality

Queen Anne and Goldenrod

the meadow
arranges
a fall display

Morning Glory

I fly in your sky
and swim in
your ocean of blue

Priscilla

being both
demure and extravagant
she beguiles

Culmination

an explosion of orange
sending curves into curls
and polka dots popping

Pink Moon

made of cotton candy
glowing all the day
sweet bella luna

Between And Beside

amidst the prickly places
filaments of tenderness
keep calling for touch

Ricochet Of Loveliness

phlox white clouds
the sky echos
the garden’s bloom

Still Jumping

a merry band
of cheerfulness
still jumping mid-summer

Greeting Everything Where It Is

she opened
her beauty
in every direction

One Among Many

each the same
all distinct
as with flowers people

Simple Delight

joy
was sprinkled
everywhere
