Brilliant, grandiloquent, magnificent, trenchant...
albeit modest word zealot

Writing prompts burst asunder
snap, crackle, and sweet Mary poppin
within me scrambled noggin
witnessing yours truly to blunder
blindly along this dark and stormy night
deafening soundcloud roared
with apocalyptic thunder
'course only audible to...

deafening soundcloud roared

It was summer in the mountains,
Daisies, bees and poison ivy surrounding
The little creek where my feet swung down,
Swaying gently over the trickling water…
Betraying the heat with its coolness,
Its calm – serene like the world where...

There’s a special place that I now recall
Both secret and safe in a garden wall,
Far my favorite space when I was small
Was that wooden gate in the garden wall.
And there beneath that garden way
One million...

My garden calls to earths creatures one and all
  No matter how big, no matter how very small
    Amid ferns green lace to show her humble face

A faint perfume of lilac blooms has stirred the sleeping dawn
Bright sunlight weaves a golden loom with threads across the lawn
Crisp white-lipped Delphiniums tossed snowflakes to the hills, while
Daffodils and pink jonquils shake off the...

Boundless Blue

Born in a misty rainbow,
Blue slips out from her place
between her sisters Green and Violet,
painting the heavens azure,
covering the earth like the robe of Virgin Mary.
She floats into the ocean in a navy dress,
then...

My elderly friend and I walk along
the raised flower beds
full of rainbows of blooms,
becoming the mother and daughter
in the famous Renoir painting,
now with the daughter grown up.

We slow our pace,
gazing at pink and yellow dahlias,

Bright yellow daffodils,
    Pansies, and gladiolus,
And chrysanthemums;
    Red roses of unique hybrids; 
Orange dahlias, peach tulips, 
    Fuchsia asters, and white lilies;
Blue hyacinths and delphiniums;

You’re coming home today, my heart rejoice 
To hear that baron tone and luscious voice 
You’ll coming walking through that door 
I’ll come flying, your bags drop to the floor 
You’ll wrap your arms around...

Sweet blue indigo were your eyes,
	sometimes they appeared almost black
but in their reflection, I saw clear sky blue
	with floating pastel aqua painted clouds.
In your tended garden, soft pale cyan croci rose
	followed by tall taunt blue...

Serenity Of Blue


As in our rivers' varied tints of blues,
   the color blends are peaceful and serene,
in ripples of reflective color hues
   that mirror mix of sky and hills of green.

In spring, when delphiniums are in bloom fair
Come to my garden where I will meet you then 
We will talk about life and love without a care
When spring comes, the earth is young again

As everything...

dance party of summer

blue waves rock and roll
 seashore tides shimmy and shake ~
  sunlight tap dances

white clouds pirouette
 delphiniums deep plies ~
  ebb tides grand jettes

meadows slowly waltz
 forests polka with raindrops...

I.
“A hiatus, not a parting.”
I waited until stones gathered
on the mothy carpet of the 
living room. Then I stopped,
like mothers and fathers, 
the un-watered 
Delphiniums window-side.

Laid a rusted finger on
the lip, the dredged ice,
Alaskan wind,...

Hollyhocks blossom in shades white to black,
And a myriad of dramatic colors in between,
With a colossal height other beauties lack,
Long drowsy days charm all my garden green!

Cannas bloom in red, orange, yellow or pink,
And the...

searching for words in continuum of
incompleteness, it was a trickle at first, then
a free fall, cerebral fury: I am becoming expansive,
so apposed to verbatim of shrieks, only

in whispers I will talk to delphiniums,
