If Summer Could Go On Forever

sunflowers would
shine their cheerful light
through winter’s dark night

Frost Dodger

as summer wanes
each flower more precious
for the precariousness

At The Sunflower House

every size and kind
of sunflower
under the sun

Double Bloom

within the hibiscus
dianthus
also blooms

Savoring The Sunshine

summer has not yet
opened the gate
to fall

Contemplating Life

a good companion
is the flower
full of quiet and complexities

Feverfew By The Fence

the second bloom
an insurance
of immortality

Morning Glory

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

Essential Elements

steel heron
waits by stone bowl
filled with rain

Priscilla

being both
demure and extravagant
she beguiles

Dizzy

spinning color
in the garden
dizzy with glee

Culmination

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

A Complexity Of Symmetry

circle upon circle
the center
echos the edges

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

I Wanna Be A Bee

or perhaps a hummingbird
I’m a moth
with aspirations

Still Jumping

a merry band
of cheerfulness
still jumping mid-summer

Greeting Everything Where It Is

she opened
her beauty
in every direction

Sitting By The Fountain

listening to the water
share the story of
refreshment
