It’s time to water the cocker spaniels
and while you’re at it the flowering annuals
Before the heat of day holds sway
as we’re undone by the midday Sun
eyes of sunken hollow
pupil
skin stretched thin as tallow
stooping for a coin
so shallow
and falling
for that pretty shimmer
hammered with a faierie's splinter
pupil eyeing in the snow
so shallow the sallow
heart of him
with legs unsteady
and brain too heady
he let the pretty shimmer go
and wept to bleed
bright red white snow
My eye is quickly seized by a gorgeous glimmer of purple; I walk over to take a better look. The renegade petunias have arrived to announce the imminent arrival of summer. They are supposed to be annuals, but no one has told them, so here they are, magically showing summer the way.
purple petunia
vibrant and beautiful
spring into summer
Winter perennials lavished with hope
under layers of crisp snow
waiting their turn
Spring perennials hope to be noticed
duller than annuals
but more dependable and loyal
Summer perennials outlasting the annuals
proudly soaking up morning dew
last men standing
Fall perennials going away gently
giving their seeds gladly
easy like trees
POETS
Seems we be a restless,
often rootless, band
we poets.
Annuals
bursting forth
in fullness
only to fade,
blown away
on fickle winds.
Stringless kites
anchored
in the ethereal.
Voices adrift
on the mind’s
muse.
Tumbleweeds
in torment
pursued
by the winds
of our future.

After winter’s cold dark days
Nature wakes up in different ways,
Colours start to return for all to see
It’s now warm enough to impregnate seeds,
For the annuals to begin their growth
Tubers and roots start to enact their life,
Under the heat of the sun’s invigorating light
Slowly but surely spring then summer comes into sight,
Fostering dreams and hopes so that our future is bright.
persnickety aunts probably authored private annuals
providing all plebes and prospects a polite answer
allowing provocative avid public a peek
at potential artistic playgrounds amid positive attitudes
plentiful alluring prancing and allegiance provided
amid persnickety aunts pleasing astronomical prospects
allegedly pleasant as polite aunties possibly assent
plebes always providing appreciative provocative audience
Tardy tulips delight,
First spotted in early May morning light.
Grape hyacinth clusters muster too,
The energy to push up through.
Warming sun with still cool soil,
Begins the season I’ll happily toil.
Seeds to sow,
Annuals and veggies to grow.
Iris still but bundles of sheaves,
Reticent roses sprout tiny leaves.
Sassy daffodils declare - we were here before
And now open still more.

Yes autumn! With a carpet of old leaves,
dying annuals sun burnt look old.
Mist welcoming with morning gloom;
ripened fruit now hanging bold.
Oh autumn! Let me reap your bounty,
before your fruit begins to drop.
May I find pleasure in your glut
when collecting up your ripened crop.
Chutney! Relish! Sauce! And pickle!
Jelly! Marmalade! Conserve!
Prepared and stored to last forever -
this autumn harvest I preserve.
I need plant therapy
begin planting mid May
annuals are brighter and prettier
but I usually plant perennials
because they reappear each year
the red geraniums are nodding to me
a gorgeous hydrangea gives me a nod
better have some Miracle Grow
I do not quite fill up my trunk
So I come back and get three more plants
the cashier smiles at me; she knows me well
Bet I’ll see you two more times today, she says
She is not wrong
My little bit of natural life.
Its biodiversity rife.
Frogs, bugs, butterflies, hedgehogs, mice.
Annuals, perennials, lice.
Fruit, cherries, blackberries, no strife!
All in peak condition, no blite.
Every day new finds excite!
New for the county too, quite nice.
My little bit!
Records have to be recorded… type.
New finds my contribution… life
Each new record another slice,
For what it takes I’ll pay the price.
Enjoyed by me and my dear wife.
