Suggestive Behaviour
Attended a garden party
full of fun
from dusk 'til dawn
filled with laughter
next door on the lawn
awoke the morning after
the night before
arose to wash
my hands and face
packed my bag
just in case
all was quiet
around the house
nothing heard
not even the spouse
what now where next
who really knows
always the eternal question
allow me now to propose
I'm open to suggestion

YeastyYeasty with a cornmealed bottom
The sun-dried tomato's and sundried
Red bell peppers called me
The parmesaned and garlic crust
topped with olives, anchovies, and
Onions
the queint essential of elegance
refined by the knead of belonging
Bacon wrapped artichokes
With a hint of lemon
Mozzarella browned to create a
delicate longing of satisfaction.
Basil, oregano, and olive oil
Enough to tease. Just...

Flowers as far as the eye can seeMeadow of clustered flowers
fragrant bouquets of petals
pinks purples yellows whites
~ a delightful extravaganza
Spreading their joy like tentacles
they entice butterflies and bees
while the sun keeps busy
caressing this wild ageless garden...

The BargainGenerally, I am on
the Clean Side; but,
garden soil is my
rich exception --
I wallow in it,
a piggy for the scent
and feel --
Sort of like, training
wheels on bicycles
are for sissies,
glove-less, I dip and
knead; saturate and
soak. Claw! Compact!
Sniff the compost,
deeply investing with
bacteria: praising, composing
a reverent hymn, How gloriously
Efficient Is Nature!~ our
Mother recycling, wasting
nothing, reusing...

He Will Lead Me: full song audioI'm standing by the mountain that reaches up so high.
I'm looking toward the heavens and asking for a reason why?
In the shadow of that mountain, I can't see my way through...
but I'll start climbing for the summit because I know I walk with you.
He'll lead me to the highest, he'll lift me and I'll...

Evermore
While wending my way one sunny day
in no particular direction
on stopping for reflection
I took a look at flowers by the rustic fence
beside a gnarled old tree
and was amused to see
beautiful colours and textures
which it seemed to me could only be
a painting picturesque
packed with pinks and reds yellows too
while beyond there lay
a field of green beneath...

INTO GOD'S GARDENINTO GOD'S GARDEN*
*Note: I originally published this poem at Poetry Soup in June 2025 (www.poetrysoup.com › poem › come_into_gods_...) then deleted it. This is my original poem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Come into God’s garden.
Come as you are.
come with the broken,
battered pieces
that you
picked up off the ground
after fragile hands
let you fall.
Come into His garden
with the remnants
of what they
left behind.
Come...

Midnight Garden
Shadow Mandrake loon,
mine-mire in your touch of airy witches broom.
Silhouette your herbal remedy,
dramatic flair for the dramatic melody
moon-, child, solar fare
anaerobic night-moves felled for an Angelic messengineer, scowl to tell, red,
gold,...

Anticipating flowersThe flowers, the flowers
Will bloom in three hours
I really don't want to wait.
The flowers will bloom,
If i may assume,
If they don't bloom too late....

The foxes in my gardenThe foxes in my garden
Arrive at night to play
They had their fill of chicken
And so decide to stay
I crouch down on my haunches
And look into her eyes
The little one so trusting
She’s like her mother wise
I see how she has taught them
To fend well for themselves
But only Little...

marvelling flowersmarvel at the vigorous blade of grass,
resistant to the worst storms,
marvel at the dandelion, offering a thousand treasures
To the bees of the county,
marvel at the hemlock flower, which could
poison ten ancient poets,
marvel at the plant world and its millions
of possibilities,
marvel at the fern, which does not tire
that winter,
marvel at how the butterfly marvels
on the corolla...

Marlaina, in BloomIn gardens where the wild winds roam,
Marlaina walks, and love comes home.
Each step she takes, the blossoms rise—
Their colours borrowed from her eyes.
She lingers where Gerber Daisies grow,
With petals soft as evening’s glow.
They blush in pinks and fiery gold,
As if they know the hands that hold
Their fragile stems are warm with fire—
A gardener, yes—but so...
