Best Delphiniums Poems

dance party of summer

blue waves rock and roll
 seashore tides shimmy and shake ~
  sunlight tap dances

white clouds pirouette
 delphiniums deep plies ~
  ebb tides grand jettes

meadows slowly waltz
 forests polka with raindrops ~
  breezes minuet

willow trees tango
 sunflowers skip jump and...

A faint perfume of lilac blooms has stirred the sleeping dawn
Bright sunlight weaves a golden loom with threads across the lawn
Crisp white-lipped Delphiniums tossed snowflakes to the hills, while
Daffodils and pink jonquils shake off the morning chill

Each violet of morning has left no stone deferred
Found...

Serenity Of Blue


As in our rivers' varied tints of blues,
   the color blends are peaceful and serene,
in ripples of reflective color hues
   that mirror mix of sky and hills of green.

Yet, 'midst the flowers in our fields that grow,

Boundless Blue

Born in a misty rainbow,
Blue slips out from her place
between her sisters Green and Violet,
painting the heavens azure,
covering the earth like the robe of Virgin Mary.
She floats into the ocean in a navy dress,
then waltzes on waves of the Danube.
Sailing the teal waters of...

My garden calls to earths creatures one and all
  No matter how big, no matter how very small
    Amid ferns green lace to show her humble face
      With rows of flowers and dainty plots of grace

My elderly friend and I walk along
the raised flower beds
full of rainbows of blooms,
becoming the mother and daughter
in the famous Renoir painting,
now with the daughter grown up.

We slow our pace,
gazing at pink and yellow dahlias,
velvety purple salvias, blue delphiniums,
hanging baskets of pink bleeding hearts,
red begonias...

waves crash mist and spray
touch upon lighthouse's strong walls..
lights steadily warn

lightkeeper's sturdy
rock home filled with light warmth love..
unharmed as storm passes

delphiniums bloom
their gauze blossoms withstand storm..
strength in featherweight

You’re coming home today, my heart rejoice 
To hear that baron tone and luscious voice 
You’ll coming walking through that door 
I’ll come flying, your bags drop to the floor 
You’ll wrap your arms around my waist 
Your lips will stick to mine like sticky...

Bright yellow daffodils,
    Pansies, and gladiolus,
And chrysanthemums;
    Red roses of unique hybrids; 
Orange dahlias, peach tulips, 
    Fuchsia asters, and white lilies;
Blue hyacinths and delphiniums;
    Purple anemones and begonias
Planted in various places….

	Roses have...

There’s a special place that I now recall
Both secret and safe in a garden wall,
Far my favorite space when I was small
Was that wooden gate in the garden wall.
And there beneath that garden way
One million tears were washed away
And drained themselves into the ground
To gain...

Sweet blue indigo were your eyes,
	sometimes they appeared almost black
but in their reflection, I saw clear sky blue
	with floating pastel aqua painted clouds.
In your tended garden, soft pale cyan croci rose
	followed by tall taunt blue cornflowers
that stretched between the graceful cobalt delphiniums
	that stood before summer...

This “thing” wears many unlicensed costumes:  

         Life force,  Vital breath,  Cosmic energy
         Spirit, soul, original source, qualia, awareness

Over where the Delphiniums bloom Cornflower Blue
The Zephyr blows on quiet morns
Then the excited voices come to play
And screams resound in heat of day

Where splashes and laughter 
Are common things
Stress disappears 
Joy relaxation brings

Children smile with dimples
As water drips from hair
Drenched like salamanders
Once again where...

Brilliant, grandiloquent, magnificent, trenchant...
albeit modest word zealot

Writing prompts burst asunder
snap, crackle, and sweet Mary poppin
within me scrambled noggin
witnessing yours truly to blunder
blindly along this dark and stormy night
deafening soundcloud roared
with apocalyptic thunder
'course only audible to yours truly,
I did dumbfoundedly bred wonder...

At some o'clock 
tick tocking...
