Clustered

crabapple
congregants
commune

Dahlias In The Background

bookends of summer
monarchs on
Buddleia

Those Two Iris

they leaned
into each other
as lovers often do

Bursting Forth

life force
an explosion
of joy

The Friendship Plant Abloom

spot
of brightness
in a winter day

Solace Seen

this heron
on the marsh
emanating peace

Sweet Goodbye

final visit
to the last
of the lilacs
