Appreciation

The butterfly, cow and flower
conferring beauty
on the day

Gathered and Dispersed

the congregation
of monarchs
billows away

I Wanna Be A Bee

or perhaps a hummingbird
I’m a moth
with aspirations

Counterparts And Wings

butterfly
on the thistle
the soft atop the bristle

To Dine On Beauty

oh to hover in the flowers
and sip the sweetness
from every one

Spring Morning In The Garden

a feast
of delicacies
for eyes and insects

Dahlias In The Background

bookends of summer
monarchs on
Buddleia

Apparition

veiled in a silken web
the ghost appears
before the death

Hummingbird Moth

hovering
without the hum
unfeathered fuzzy one

Red Bug

tiny
stop sign
go, go, goes

Mining

mother load
wing-ed ones
gold rush

Butterfly Alighted

small moment
enlarges
the day

Resting Dragonfly

life’s toll
taken
on tatter wings

Stages

the beauty
inside
yet to be seen

Sweet Goodbye

final visit
to the last
of the lilacs

Many Shades

blue on blue
butterfly in
the bachelor buttons

My Lady and I

sunshine’s warmth
only residence
is inside the window

Nature Map

there be dragons
on the pond
alighting on the asters

Humble Abode

unassuming bloom
calling
monarchs home

Garden Party

plants and insects
celebrate
the first of summer’s days
