stand so lethargic 
alyssum and ash aster ---
as though half dead could not live

they raise up their heads 
as though in resurrection ---
embellishing Jesus white

My Alyssum

Through beads of hope I gaze
elegant strong and brave
with greens and diamond blues a mast
off her petals pearlescent dew drops lie
fragrantly guiding a watchful eye

Honeybee yellow stings of fate
absorbing every ray of baby's breath
harmoniously humming
in a wholesome milieu
shifting boundaries cast away drear

Statues orate snow white odes Lilies loquate lavender soliloquies Alyssum applauds with purple passion in summer's soft breeze Aquamarine asps slither on a swimming pool beside bougainvillea reaching over ivory urns to toss fuchsia coins. 2nd Place Mid June Premier Contest Sponsor: Brian Strand 6/13/17

Premium Member Lavender Is Blooming

The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues Lavender is blooming, accented with yarrow And small ground flowers are showing blues The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues Columbine and alyssum are taking their cues From insistent chirping of a chipping sparrow The meadow has come alive in vibrant hues Lavender is blooming, accented with yarrow.

My aorta beats in golden poppies,
pulsing down slopes to pool
in a bruise of purple sage.
Though my eyes gleam
with lemon marigolds
snow caps of porcelain lupine
melt on my lashes,
undulating in a quiet tempest
of periwinkle asters.
Beneath a bluebell sky
the sun colors my cheeks
with the blush of primroses
as monarchs lilt
like birds of paradise
among velvet morning glories
and a shy alyssum breeze
caresses my emerald cloak.
