Spring in the Valley

Spring breeze’s whisper through the hills, 
Lavender wisteria spills 
Over a mossy granite stone. 
Air thick with heavy lilac fills, 
Spring breeze’s whisper through the hills, 
hanging on quiet valley stills, 
Where lazy shadows creep alone. 
Spring breeze’s whisper through the hills, 
Lavender wisteria spills.

Premium MemberLilacs

My mom’s favorite flower
And when I catch the wafting shower
And imbibe the smell of them
My thoughts of Mom start up again

While she rests under a lilac bush
She has visions of a Monet
And her thoughts and the moths
Inhabit the lilac in a romantic foray

It’s more of an adorning (as with a crown)
This purple fountain of pageantry 
I’m putting them on a pedestal
But please don’t think any less of me

She loves them so, this is how lilac’s trundle
Outside a trellis, inside, in water, in bundle
But as soon as these beauties had renown 
They die slowly and turn to brown

But it’s the memories 
That keep me coming back
I will think of my Mom often
Every time I smell a lilac

Premium MemberBeauty in a Mist

Misty roses, red with pink haze, orange lilies; Lilac promenade. Purple pansies on the porch, dusk soon to carry the torch. 'At last' roses, peach chocolate cosmos, shrouded, Yellow daisies smile. Gardens loved to distraction, yet hold a strong attraction. Blue irises, blurred and black cherry carnations, near green hydrangeas. Subdued belles wear nature's veil in hued dawn, of small detail.

Premium MemberA Longer Way

To see the lilac blossom once more 
I took a low road around my apartment building
I don't do this too often
So my way home was a little longer.
Not much longer actually, about 200 steps more.
Lilacs were beautiful, I smelled the heady scent of lilacs
Walking through the back lane. I love the lilacs in bloom
They were in the late stage of flowering, already shrunk a little, soon to fade.
As I turned to the home drive, I saw a tractor standing
With the engine running, the driver was smoking, sitting in his cabin.
It didn't mean anything, but I remembered this trifle.
I can't say why I tend to remember meaningless things.
Maybe they relate to me on a deeper level,
That I can't explain to myself, and I never try.

Black onyx night, of the pearlescent moon, diamond dew kissed, musk rose red. Deep purple and white passion! Phantoms dance in lilac dreams; around the corner of blooms, with memories of sunshine.

The names of the poems from which each line above was taken, is listed in order: 1. Precious Black Night 2. Sunshine Missed 3. Lilacs Lacy 4. A Fruitful Day 5. Hibiscus Hypnotic 6. Van Gogh's Flowers 7. A Final Sundown 8. Impossible Primroses 9. Redolent 10. Polka Dot Rainbow

Premium MemberYellow Sand Memoirs

Setting sun desert Hot skies are blooming colors! It's orange and red, with the pink and lilac sprays- and floating, creamy bouquets. Blue stars are coming searching for deep green they missed, near to crescent moon. Tall cacti salute the stars midst swirled, yellow sand memoirs.

Premium MemberThe Wild Places

Smiles on all faces when roaming green, green spaces. Mauve populations and redbird expectations thrill in butterfly nations! Color imposes Wild horses and red roses. Singing lilac breeze greets yon heather honeybees and purple crepe myrtle trees.

Premium Memberflower fly

see the tiny bee?
I smirk, for it is a lie.
It is not a bee
but striped like one, it is a flower fly

Because she is small, and at nature’s mercy
He made her as great a camouflage as she can be.
She is dressed from antenna to buttocks in stripes.
Her entire body looks like a honeybee; making others say “yipes!”

She is the purple lilac loving flower fly
no one messes with this rose sitter, and I tell you why…
Incognito, she looks like a bee, this flower guy!

Premium MemberRamonda

Mauve sweetheart of mountains your petals pulse purple twilight and scatter small stars amongst scars, whilst wars rage on the world's dark stage and the stage disintegrates, becomes a mass grave, scissored by shadow and scythed by sorrow. Yet graves are amethyst-studded with promises of tomorrow; lifeless lilac revived by meandering kisses of mountain streams... Sleepy sweet-scented stars dream delicate dusk, bloom on hostile ground, birthed from rocky earth, storm-swayed but unbroken, budding through the longest night, awakening violet visages unfurling from the heart of dark to be reborn in gold-gifted dawn. Tenacious you cling as morning sings to the small yellow sun that rises in each resilient heart.
