As dawn starts to streak across the sky
heralding in the new born day.
Feisty rooster already perched on the wall
giving forth with all his might, he crows.

Sleepy hens, ducks and geese scat for worms.
Low moos emitting...

Through the window open on the pale lawn, 
the music of the rustling leaves I now hear.
The glare of the scorching summer is gone,
autumn’s supple footfall I feel comes near.

The smoky dust screen has blown...

In the pristine jade landscape
the terrain rolls undulating...
the panorama of pristine cadence,
on its entrenched earthen cradle
shaped for a serene lake…
sublimely supine sparkling,
the sapphire crystal face looks up
toward the cerulean sky...
mesmerized.

The gliding southern zephyr
whispers an enticing...

A variety of fragrant lilacs in the ground 
Purple and white asters, doilies in baby joy pink.
Prettier flowers in a garden are rarely found
My bird baths are used by cardinals and one blue jay I...

Summer skies are colorful delights
As fireflies light up our warm nights
The full moon shines clear and bright
A relaxing, peaceful and serene sight

Goldfinches, and nuthatches are out
Happily eating seeds and dancing about
As crows and hawks circle...

There’s a church, quite gorgeous, with some stone walls
Beauty escapes the top of the steeple
The whole church enjoys the outside in fall

There is rocky land here for the people
Colorful flowers show off the windows
Beauty escapes...

Summer Nights in the South


Green fireflies blink in the quiet of night

and our sleeping old dog heaves a sigh.

Dreaming, she sprints through a youthful blue sky

chasing delicate clouds, cotton-white.



A red-sunset tanager* colors the warm air

from...

Awake, waiting to bloom
in the warm, balmy sunshine,
and eager to begin their cycle,
stems lift their precious cargo
towards the life-giving light.

Slowly, velvety petals,
of all shapes, sizes, colors,
unfold, like open hands
reaching up and out to bask
in the...

Early spring crocus
Hardy purple pansies
Tall clusters of verbena
Vines of morning glory
Arabella clematis
Ornamental allium blooms
Lupinesque wild indigo
Slender wild hyacinth
Faithful canterbury bells
Dignified cattleya orchid
Vibrant effervescent cyclamen
Statuesque gladiola
Cosmopolitan heliotrope
Spiked liatris flowers
Grandiflora petunia
Magical mystic merlin
Unfurling crested iris blossoms
Climbing cascades...

This beautiful nature evokes in me
A solemn truth which I begin to see
So who am I? You may ask or even know
I seek this answer from morning to night in flow!

I am free do you...

Early in the morning as the quiet of night is fading,
        I hear the kakakaka  akakak of the gulls calling;
And outside my window they glide in a...

Drenched in the glow of sunburst crimson sky
verdant vale veers at foot of jade hills, 
on gentle slope fawn leaves rustle with sigh,
wind carries to the deep stream down the rills,

sketching the leaping silver water...

Dear Lord, I am so thrilled with great wonder
At just being alive in Your  neat world.
Some nights, bad storms appear and bring thunder.
Day returns blue skies, the sun has unfurled.

I pause in my lowly...

On zephyr breeze flowers gently swing
Bright golden daffodils bring great bling
As pale pastel coloured bluebells ring
Tiny lambs gambol with zest and zing
Lush green grass, their soft plaything
I hear a pair of blackbirds sweetly sing
These mating...

Nature is as careless as it is bountiful
The faster the death, the faster is evolution.

I, a female gnat, eat my own fertile eggs,
When I am hungry while laying the eggs,
We, the gnats produce eggs within...

Lone Maiden

The willow that rises in this graveyard, buried in grief
is solemn, solitary, for seldom does one come to see
the sunken bodies, free from joy or grief
but that evening, it looked so beautiful, so free....

Dainty tulips and lilacs come in May
Lily and daffodil out of their way
Verdant grasses spring forth in great delight
Dwarf dandelions everywhere in sight

Child laughter carries through my garden
Uplifting spirit of marigold fun
Whispering wisps float by...

Graceful and balanced head to toe
what they're thinking we may never know!

Beauty in motion dancing on all fours
Serenades in vivid moon...
Silhouettes in windows

Gorgeous eyes and softly lined in fur
Bold and silly clowns they entertain
Nothing quite...

I was naked and you fully clothed me,
And gave me warmth and comfort from your rain.
Showed me a blue sky that covers the sea,
And canyons that echoed through time's domain.

When Earth shows red sunset from...

I am God.
In the quiet of night,
I am there.
In nature's red sunset,
I watch you sit and stare.
When you wrap your arms
around a majestic oak,
listen, in your heart, I spoke.
I send wind that rustles through earth's...

Spring Lingers

Winter’s long rage is quiet now 
And Spring, once again clothes herself
With the promise of Summer’s warmth.

Yet, she lingers, and listens for
The soft and familiar tread 
Of one who joys in her pathways.

But life,...
