April wind blowing
spring trees branching new white buds
even stars will bloom.

cooling wind currents,
hail strikes the fresh rose blossoms —
the sultriness veils
hail strikes the fresh rose blossoms —
the sultriness veils
mists swirl on the lake
then tendrils unfurl, curls bloom,
reach long for moonbeams
then tendrils unfurl, curls bloom,
reach long for moonbeams
Sudden bloom of snow
flurries of maple pollen
April half over
flurries of maple pollen
April half over
violet blossoms
between two old rocking chairs
keeping storms at bay

keeping storms at bay
spring chicken again
on well-trodden forest path
rose hip flashes red
on well-trodden forest path
rose hip flashes red
Verdant souls entwine
Middlemist Red blooms deeply
West London at night

old gardener stops,
watches a thin jet trail pierce
his bare, gnarled maple

his bare, gnarled maple
pink roses, lilies
bloomed upon your tumbled hair—
like a spring's scent breath
bloomed upon your tumbled hair—
like a spring's scent breath
She wore flowered pants
Her curvaceous roses bloom
Gardens in motion

white dogwood petals
confetti in the spring breeze
carpet for bare feet

carpet for bare feet
an emerald green
hummingbird flutters above
golden sunflower

Tulip skirts flare out
Men, hopeful pollinators
Cheer warmer weather

Cheer warmer weather
hear flowers whisper
I am beauty I am death
pressed between pages

Cherry petals fall
cherished into the tea cup
that holds them but once

that holds them but once
Blossoms in the fields
A muted purple flower
The lavenders bloom

The lavenders bloom
upon the flower
bumblebee high on pollen
burrows into spring
bumblebee high on pollen
burrows into spring
The evening primrose
Its tender yellow petals
Lift and fly away
Its tender yellow petals
Lift and fly away
March wind blows petals.
One sticks to tear stained chapped cheek
content to be held.

snow swirls in the wind
torn blossoms of apple trees
ashes of moons past

grandmother's journal
inscribed names nourished with tears
white lotus rising

Nurseries for stars
With countless worlds to blossom
From bright, neon clouds

From bright, neon clouds
Adrift, weeping sea
violet sky, zeal & lust
but a dolent kiss

Unbothered blossom
Tragically transient
Unworshipped wonder

Unworshipped wonder
plain-dead flowers fade
but she nurses each dry stalk
still more tenderly

still more tenderly
trees, scent from nature.
fragrant blossoms, needles, blooms.
gifts, sent from heaven.

sways in the warm mountain breeze
without a worry

Bee shadows flutter
Over lavender blossoms -
Summer's end begins

Summer's end begins
Summer fog rolls in.
Dewdrops bead the blooming rose.
Breathe the scented air.

Bees pack their hind legs
with pollen from the Daisy
Honey badger smiles

Hibiscus flowers
Wither in the new darkness
Waiting for summer

Waiting for summer
I severed the head,
left the leaning, withered stalk:
sunflower harvest.

the snail slips slowly
over a green garden hose
carrying its home

carrying its home
bumbling on flowers
extracting precious nectar
bees feeding freely

From a wire fence
a rabbit slips underneath,
the garden thief rides.
