Blooms of August
Maybe a floral heart
Woven of August flowers
For number 1, Gladiolus blue
Poppy red for number 2
(blue for me & red for you)
This wreath of love might play a peek-a-boo
Most days concealed
Symbolic of those woven through my soul
Someday revealed
When my heart has been made whole

Haiku V
White lotus appear
Aloft, translucent brush strokes
Bright scene - I endear

Bright Night of the We-Lilies
He brought lilies as a peace offering
along with other flowers
to each class he assigned a meaning
an artistic way to attempt repair.
The lilies came tightly closed
each taking their own sweet time
unfolding deliberately one by one
then exploding in orgasmic fullness
into the brightest of whites.
Though they would outlive our own ‘we’
they, too, underwent a return to dust
and perished one by one
each demise unveiling new layers of grief
An allegory for the fresh passing
of a ‘we’ as spectacular ...

a new day
the morning yawns
in anticipation
of sun-drenched days,
with desire
blushing across
scattered horizons,
as scantily clad
flowers smile.

orientalism (for Susan)
orientalism
sharing a bed with you
feels like floating down a river
in japan with cherry blossoms overhead
to scent my journey.
your voice is a necklace of haiku
that seduces my soul.

run along home (summer)
summer,
your beautiful
days,
all the colors,
sights,
your warming heart
have shared,
has all
been welcomed,
the calendar
is passing you by,
bracing yourself
you have lingered
waiting it out
with a truly
amazing will,
but,
you have earned
your rest,
don't worry,
you will not
be leaving us
alone,
fall is following
your footsteps,
introducing
new songs,
new sights,
new colors
and of course
cooler...

Gloaming
Love,
Let’s lay out in
A field of wildflowers,
In lavender air
And evening glow,
Breathing deep
And kissing slow.

colorful childlike memories
as i have now
dreamed
those long ago
moments
in bright colors,
green waves
of corn
stretching out
beyond
it's bountiful sea
of standing rows,
the gentle
snow-capped
cotton
that bloomed
in the
waiting heat,
the clearness
of fresh breezes
washing over
grateful souls,
all under
living blue fabric,
the multitude
of rainbow flowers
cascading
near and further,
those composers,
decorated
in their
very best
as their serenades
drift
from...

The White Finch and Crocus
Oh hello there, tender little flower, so beautiful and bright,
we have much in common, you and I, we both love in the light.
Your petals, my dress, we both look great in white,
short yet proud, we both stand at the same height,
prudent and shy, we both hide at night,
gentle and kind, we both never fight.
Don’t forget about me, when I’m out of sight,
it is late now and I must take flight.

Lilies
The lilies of the valley
Peal joyously,
Heralding the bride;
My heart only knows
How warmly she glows,
Standing by my side.

Dizzzzzy miss Lizzzzzy and the golden hatchett-2
(Charity)
she attended missions, markets
and nice occasional charities
with her eldest sister Emma
age not just timed disparity
the pride of all the town
too soon there was dilemma
as after she collected flowers
showed everyone around
even made happy strict pastors’ wife
Liz’ skipped away to the play
then promptly dug a hole in ground
blessed them there
because that was fair
and cut them up with hunters’ knife
