Tiny Are All Beginnings

at the crest
of a moss mountain
a pine begins

Before the Unfurling

petals held
tight in a fist
gathering the courage to open

Inside the Bird Box

phoebe
on her nest
of moss and dryer fluff

The Other Sister

mallow’s
flashy sister
hibiscus unabashed hedonist

Wide Eyed

the daisy’s eye
unblinking
reflecting back beauty

In The Light

Oh! azalea
all a ruffle
beaming back the light

Splash

hot day
refreshed by
a splash of color
