Winter -Spring
Spring
Rouses
Crocus bulbs,
Iris rhizomes,
From their brumal naps ~
As shoots scoot through
Thawing soil
Winter
Burps
they grew up spontaneously after the baby was buried
a clump of wild flowers in the middle of the wagon trail
not grieving the child, but celebrating her life
a vibrant hill of wild flowers, seemingly renegade
God’s hand would have been noted had they known
of the small baby who died during the trip to California
Consumption got her, and she was left, in this prairie
Not alone for long, for the flowers appeared every year
Queen Anne’s lace, iris, lilies, and daffodils
It stands tall
proudly pointing to the sky
reaching high toward the sun
with hints of purplish blue peeking through
Buds open ever so gently
cautious shy and humble
unsure at first of their regal stature
unaware of their innate majesty
The iris parades its generous petals
ample and graceful
floating graciously
with carefree elegance
Poised amidst the garden
the iris is remarkably unaware
of its astonishing beauty
today i bought
a small bouquet
six long stems
of tender buds
in vivid blue
as luck
would have it
the day before
i'd bought a tall
and slender vase
never thinking
the two were
destined for
each other
the bouquet
slid into the vase
like it was
meant to be
a rare elegance
i'd rarely seen
so here we are
in awe
admiring
six irises
in their
graceful
ballerina
pose

Spring Speaks in Beautiful
Spring speaks in brave crocus
And whispers in tongues of purple pansies
To laugh daffodils and jonquils
Or exhale plumes of lilacs in stars.
Spring breathes riots of tulips
Then sings a lace of cherry blossoms
She laughs in iris and anemone
Then sighs in azure and hyacinth.
blue is wild iris
like the skies of racy clouds
or berries that tempt
sunshine's companion
since mulberry hours of dawn
when scents greeted song
carefree is iris
like warm wind, whistling all day
lovely disarray
Artificial blooms cause delight!
Exquisite freesias, geraniums, hellebores
Iris, jasmine, kaffir lilies.
My neighbour Oscar
plants quirky realistic stems.
Transplanting unkempt verges
with xanthic yellow zinnias.
Rosey, had a rose of course
And Dan had Dandelions.
Sonny sought out Sunflowers
And Pete perfumed Petunias.
Maisey dreams of Daisys,
Cyrus clings to Iris.
Pops loves Poppys everywhere and
Viola vies for Violets.
Amy loves the Amaryllis
While Dolly dallies Dahlias.
Don’t miss Miss Chrysanthemum or
Aly’s awsome Alyssum.
James with Jasmine ran and
Percy picks the Jersey Lily.
Casey cares for Camelia and
Phyllis leaps through Lilies.
Angie’s all “Angelica” while
Bob boasts of Blossums.
Fiona’s Flora flies and
Abe craves more Azalea.
Beatrice bathes in Begonias and
Cassie crafts with Calia.
Goodness, 300 flowers or more!?
Oh distain, I’m out of names!
No more room for blooms
I’ll stop meddling, and “petal” on.
If you are a gardener who likes to mess with iris
And you are lucky enough to have a winning combination
No one else has every created and shown before
You might be like Ralph Shreve from the Ozarks
His gorgeous purple and yellow iris is named after him
Shreve’s iris, best in show
I like roses, lilies, cactuses, and other beautiful
flowers that display their blossoms most of the year.
I like red, white, pink, and even bright yellows.
I like all flowers, birds, bees, and green trees.
I'm different from others, but I like myself too.
God made us all to be ourselves and do our best,
and like His entire creation, to depend on Him.
So, once a year, one of my colors is purple.
I say hello and encourage the rest of God's creation
to blossom where they are planted and be their best there.
I remind them that whether it's rainy or shiny, calm or stormy,
God will be there with and for them because He always cares for us.
Sunflower power brown face
Positive petals of hair in place
Rosy spirit raspberry grin
Intelligent fearless spirit white wins
Never nagging nightingale
Green stem dreams will not fail
Tulip touch of turquoise trust
Indigo iris pure no lust
Magnolia moods of mahogany
Emerald groove of Easter Lilly
lovely delicate pale sky blue iris
you inspire and uplift
your ruffled petals reaching toward heaven
where you were dreamed of and designed
angel’s flower, reminding me of heaven’s gate
~ iris blue ~ initially purple ~ protanopia confuse ~
Sorry to write such depressing things. I just have to process what is happening.
The buds of Iris
are charred black as if they're burned
I've never seen this
Spring brings these purple flowers
Now, I am looking at death

monarchs lead the petite butterflies
daisies, gladiolas and hollyhocks smile
two welcoming Adirondack chairs
under yellow and orange umbrellas
welcome my friend to my garden
where foxglove and iris await
