A Garden Dances

Be still...a garden dances
Pollination’s lush ballet
Find your Zen with gentle glances

The stage abuzz, new life advances 
Grand jetés in jaundiced sway 
Be still...a garden dances

Succulent as new romance is
Nectar sweet - a frail buffet  
Find your Zen with gentle glances

With fickle fervor, pollen prances
Bloom to bloom in roguish play
Be still...a garden dances

Astute design, no theory lances
Sacral treasures time parlays 
Find your Zen with gentle glances

Ponder all the fragile chances
Life stirs life then flits away
Be still...a garden dances
Find your Zen with gentle glances

David, one of your haiku from long ago appears at a blog Craig currently has posted. Just thought I would let you know and also came here to say I miss you and your fine work.

David, this is wonderful for the contest. I tried to write a Villanelle today for Silent Ones contest, it was hard to find all those a and b rhyming words
