OH Tannenbaum

thirty years tall
you carry our Christmas wishes
all the way to the stars

Simple Delight

joy
was sprinkled
everywhere

In The Dirt

a tiny
call for joy
the day transformed

Bounce

discovering
joy in
everything

Enormity

its tiny size
somehow made
the joy of its discovery
more enormous

A Winter Radiance

here a rainbow rises
of colored branches
behold this halo of joy

Concentration

a potent joy
in the brightness
of crabapples

Nana’s Dooryard Garden

her welcome
always joyous
and abundant

Not Done Yet

sweet September
unwilling to let
summer’s party fade away

Joy And Sorrow

the dark and light
that passes through
our blue days

Morning’s Song

voices raised
in joyous praise
birds greet the day

Poppies

cacophony of colors
a wild flowering
abandoned to joy

Joyous Cacophony

bleeding hearts
tambourine the wind
allium and iris
sing solo notes

Jumping Up

exaltation
of summer’s
many tiny joys

Rhapsody of Yellow and Red

primerose bloom
joy
made tangilbe

Bursting Forth

life force
an explosion
of joy

So Succulent A Rose

all growth
is a flowering
this is joy

Reassurance

tiny blue flowers
joy enough
to dispel doubt

Visit

sit awhile
and listen to
the flowers conversation

Set Upon By The Sun

joyful sparks
in Nonnie’s garden
columbine catch fire
