headstones well adorned

Up a country road  Wisteria blooms
The soft lavender fragrant buds await 
Easy sunlight gently touches blossoms
Sends wafing aromatic breeze thru gate

White Dogwood blooms spot multicolored woods
Gently lift and fall in soft spring air
Impressionistic Azalea blooms stood
Colorful ornaments on creek's bend fair

Narcissus stand in trim...

Poetry is bittersweet
sweet when the words
strain away the angst,
bitter as reminders
that do not wane.

I take these feelings
from a moment in time,
capturing them
in flowered words
and hold them there
like bouquets for the taking.

They do not wilt,
dry and decay.
But as I hold them there
my hand tires so
but I’ve...

Lady, let me send you bouquets of flowers
As you awake when love greets you good morning
To share and declare an interest in the precious hours

You and I hope to invest in the opening
To a conversation, a consultation to break the ice
Spinning, grinning, listening, beginning

An adventure...

My Best Bouquets

Exotic crocuses and ferns, Appalachian Trail …
Baby’s breath that takes one’s breath away -
Orchids and epiphytes near inland waters of KwaZulu-Natal
A few from Fynbos, near Table Mountain
Even a national flower, the Protea, illegal
To take (when we camped only once, New Year’s weekend, when...

Gardens are my big passion.
I love how mine grows.
With sunflowers the fashion
There are highs, no lows.

Dominating every way,
Their idol, the sun.
Big bouquets for Mother's Day,
Would be so much fun....

Bouquets, Grains of Wheat, and Other Love

For two years there was one little boy,
And though without a brother he "explored,"
Then in the spring in his grubby little hands,
He would appear with a bouquet at the back door.

Wild daisies or dandelions or a buttercup,
His grubby little...

                     My soul is bleeding, bleeding,
      as a thousand sharp daggers stab me;
  for the headstones are green mossed,
and...

Every time I see a flower I see your face inside
I love to look at flowers, their beauty cannot hide
See, flowers are so beautiful in ways that we can know
Through sweetly scented petals, in colors of rainbows 

Bouquets of lovely orchids, bring thoughts and memories
Of...

Driving along the roads of today,
You can’t help but see as you go on your way.
Beautiful roadside bouquets in full bloom,
A teddy that should be, in a child’s bedroom. 
This sign of the times can be seen everywhere,
You can’t help but look, you stop and...

On Mother’s Day
  we buy chocolate
and bouquets of flowers 

Write her cards
  with syrupy thoughts
wait in restaurants for hours

As if this thanks a mom and mother
  for all she does for us
Think what you will ~ I say it is unjust...

are these bluebells from Scotland, England, Texas, Virginia or Spain?
I have seen a video, but am not sure, so try to expand my brain.
do they grow in hedgerows, grassland or at the edge of a wood?
they are lovely bluish-lavender hyacinths, I would say if I...

Roses blood painted petals shine.
Thorns defending savage ripping hands.
Gloves are cheating!
Go pick on something your own size!
Tulips won't bite, but they take revenge.
They flourish in fresh churned soil, 
generously fertilized
by bodies deeply buried....
