Buds of Renewal
The buds anxiously wait to burst through
warmer, softer ground.
They sprout like a secret lacking sound.
First signs of spring and the excited joy they bring.
Accompanied by joyous melodies the birds do sing.
Robin's, dressed in their red breast, hop everywhere.
A sky saturated blue, provokes a happy hypnotic stare.
The sun's soft spring heat shines on the thick, smooth buds.
Sometimes what is fragile is at the same time tough.
And renewal of earth and heart is abundantly enough.

Roses are whatever
roses are red
Violets are blue
This formats clichéd
Try something new
roses are black
tulips are white
you and I are as different
as day is to night
roses will bloom
but then they will die
lovers live bliss
but soon they will cry
roses are red
carnations are cheap
settle for those
if your pockets aren't deep
roses are thorny
couplets are corny
you are just waiting
for me to say horny
roses are red
love fills me with dread
it never lasts
it starts...

A Touch of Spring
There's the soft lift of blue that carries the song of birds to touch the clouds
And green
The world's turned green again
From raggedy lawn
Growing free before the first cutting
Yearning in the sun
Softly rippling
As the cool of the breeze
Wends its way
In that peculiar cool to the warmth of the day
Like the last fading echoes of winter forgot
In the lavender and dogwoods
Pink and white which are scattered
Among the green of leaves and buds
Of trees in varied shades of green
For today is awake to things
Like life...

Like the last fading echoes of winter forgot
In the lavender and dogwoods
Pink and white which are scattered
Among the green of leaves and buds
Of trees in varied shades of green
For today is awake to things

Summer Squash
my mom
had a picture
of summer yellow squash
hanging on the wall
I saw it in the morning
I saw it in the afternoon
I saw it at night
it was there
every day, every year... always
and everyday at a certain time
the sun hit it just right
the sweet rays made it sparkle
the summer yellow squash
they shined like the sun
it was amazing
so full of warmth
full of magic
full of love
mom...

Perennials
While Contemplating the ins and outs of the perfect romance
i said, "yes" to this butterfly requesting a dance
She was tired of dancing alone between the drops of a recent shower
and I was tired of being and standing alone like a wallflower
We floated over to the edge of the garden dancing among the Roses
Waltzing among the Marigolds spinning in circles and rubbing noses
As we two stepped amongst Irises, making our way to the Begonias
There were Sunflowers ready to line dance as we separated from the Petunias
She whispered something into...

Sweet Elegance
As summer sets, butterflies, rising in flushing
meadows like you find in blushing books, wild as
the flowers in your hair, haunting melancholia,
whispering sweet elegance as the woodwind's
piccolo, silent as the ocean's surf, rising in
flushing meadows

first warmth of spring
first
warmth
of spring,
sun
and blue
speaking
assured,
blazes
growing,
moments
amazed
and leaping
combinations
of colors
buffeted
with sweet
moods,
giving me
pleasure,
streaming
within
my gaze.

they’re not there for long
took a photograph of the bluebells in the wood before they died back in the day someone would have painted them

Soft and Wet
Sweeter Than Honey
A poetess makes love
with her alluring words
and lays them down
upon a dreamscape
silken bed as a covering
for fixated eyes
to slide under them
and softy enjoy
the honeyed enticements
The Color Of My Faith
The color of my faith
Seen in the Heavens of blue
Unlocking
The true potential of my soul
In The Stratosphere
In the stratosphere
High above the moon
I hear your spiritual teaching ...

Dandelion Bear
Dandelion Bear
Dandelion bear
Dines in patch of heaven
On Yukon summer soma stems
Like a lotus eater on fire with Shangri La
Whose ivory thresh
Is a prelude to cavernous combustion
Wherein lies the wildflower sutra
As he eats local
From nature’s produce market of love
While humans paint retina
And camera lens
With shades of wonder
Whose art is a quest
For his pure unadulterated dream
Of forest freedom
Dandelion bear

While humans paint retina
And camera lens
With shades of wonder
Whose art is a quest
For his pure unadulterated dream
