Premium Member In the Harem of the Flower Kisser

at the break of dawn
a  Hummingbird starts his rounds
 Morning Glory sought

flaunting a red hue -
Mexican Sunflower tempts
looking hot, hot, hot

the Don Juan of birds 
sucking nectar from Beardtongue. . . 
drunk on French kisses

Goldenrod at noon. . .  
Zephyr carries a sweet scent
beneath a gold sun

between Rose bushes
the Flower Kisser gets lost
in Blue Infinity

Sweet Pea and Bee Balm
entice with purple petals. . . 
Bees join the orgy

Monarchs swarm in droves
when blue Hummingbird alights
on Butterfly Bush

Evening Primrose
waving in the dusk’s last breeze. . . 
the proper lover

the Flower Kisser
leaves his harem sated as
white Moonflower glows


*The capitalized names for flowers
represent some of the most popular
flowers visited by hummingbirds.

Premium Member Fall Serenade

fall serenade

serenade of fall
 nor'easters and southerlies ~
  bittersweet in bloom

leaves sing with the winds
 arias of rising gales ~
  pumpkins harmonize

bare branches in tune
 thrum rhythms of autumn ~
  acorn symphonies

blast of icy frost
 elegies for summer air ~
  rainbow hued harvest

hues of country roads
 chant scarlet, gold, umber notes ~
  wheat fields intone fall

draughts herald autumn
 fall ruffles and flourishes ~
  corn stalks beat in time

autumn song resounds
 carols of butterfly bush ~
  chimes float on flurries

Premium Member My Autumn Day

Burning bush livens the yard with pops of reddish pink and orange.
Purple butterfly bush, in a delicate way, surprises me, at her head.
Seventy two degrees, a nice surprise for October twenty-seventh.
Birds swoop in, amazed, to feeders, I just put up the eleventh.
Found my red garden rake on the ground near the giant double oak.
Other treasurers popped up, along the walk in the yard, no joke.
I sit in the sun, marveling at the beauty and serenity of my yard.
So glad I am a gardener, painter, cartoonist, one with little guard.
Many choices, so where on earth does a creative mind sit?
The highs, the low’s, the trees, the sky.  Where do I fit?
On the ground, studying ants and bees?
Faeries and wasps, garden snakes and fleas?
Autumn smells permeate my soul.
Glorious reminder that the day is whole.
I ponder and wander, up and down, and beyond.
Admiring my ferns, violets, seeds, walnuts, and frond.
Spring is refreshing, summer wonderful too,
But autumn and winter they truly renew.
A gorgeous red leaf floats down and lands on my shoe.
A reminder that people are cyclical too.

Premium Member Arbor of Wisteria and Clematis

Arbor of Wisteria and Clematis

Memory of appealing Wisterias
Uncovering the grand butterfly bush;
near the lilacs and lonely gardenias;
as the light essence of spring bring a rush.
little fairies dance like faux ballerinas
autumn's pussy willows now but a hush
that coldness felt deep during winter's wrath.
The equinox whispers from a warmer path

Pumpkins and gourds sitting by the corn husks.
this and a tasty Thimble-berry creme pie.
a perched crow sits on the arbor at dusk;
watching for the owl with a wary eye
freshly turned garden smells of molds and musk
Canada geese fly north through a morning sky
A rooster sings his song with emphasis
shaking the wisteria and clematis.

Premium Member Vegetable Garden Does Not Make Smiles For Me

Purple conical blooms lure bumblebee
Foxglove trumpet flowers scent that please
Vegetable garden doesn't make smiles for me

Weeping Willow with grace lures so artsy
Under which lies Butterfly Bush which tease
Purple conical blooms lure bumblebee

But in the vegetable garden foresee
Sweat, toil in heat but food that heals disease
Vegetable garden doesn't make smiles for me

On trellis adjacent pale pink rose see
Just a dewdrop, but not on Butterfly Bush with base
Purple Conical blooms that lure bumblebee

In the vegetable garden no Sweet Pea
More flowers for me and food plants decrease
Vegetable garden doesn't make smiles for me

All I see toil, sweat no trip to the sea
Please do not let the flower garden cease
Let purple conical blooms lure bumblebee
Vegetable garden doesn't make smiles for me

Powerful Purple

 The pouring rain turned to haze, the sun rises only to set
   What we imagine, chasing dragons but in reality just forget
     Noble kings to worn out jeans, all the fabric we never protect
      The blood within, these evil men it's the passion they collect
      The butterfly bush to Alaskan cush in kaleidescope eyes
     The Jokers suit and Dinosaurs too, perfect purple disguise
    Grapes at noon turn to prunes then raisins thereafter
   The wisdom mood to light up rooms with all the laughter
  The darkest bruise changes hues only makeup covers
 A color too, mixed up red and blue become eternal lovers
