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

avenue of hues
but mostly asters rich blooms
colored by the sun

petals on pathways
in windswept honeyed summer
on the outside in

tireless mauve hours pause
just to hear cardinals sing
giddy joy in blooms

backwards and forwards
admiring feet are marching
wild dreamy summer...

Edible, plentiful, 
Easy to prepare, and
Extra tasty when fried;
Easter bunny brings them.
Eager children find them.
Elliptical shaped shells
Embody earth and life!

With down flying all around,
It all would seem very aster-like to an outsider.
But he was flaunting the sered spirit
To the querulous darkness screaming.
The locust melancholy lullaby
Brings the gention and goldenrod to bed.
While the sedges come to live.
Sprung from the rainfall of my life....

Writing my blue poem
With my pink pen...
Mellow blue, 
Sweet Aster sugar blue, 
Sad sighing blue, 
Mid-night sky blue
Blues singing, crying blue
'Lady Day' blue
Soon smiling blue, 
Because I am thinking of you, 
Writing my blue poem
With a pink pen
Thinking of you!
Oh yes!

butterfly in blue
wafting skies we always knew
in orange-gold sun

redbirds sing farewell
a warm hour of green flowers
when still wind listens

to meadows and woods
minty lanes where beauty hides
round and round it flies

drawing stares it goes
about pink aster affairs
sunset showdown flair...

It was hefted upon a breeze -
   As in a warm, flowing current
Through a sea of palo verdes -
   To search for an embankment.

That seed of promise -
   An implicit aster -
Was sent to broken gneiss
   To become one with nature -

A golden bloom to come
   To an expectant glen -
Not knowing how it found home
   Except that it did....

A-lmighty God's master plan 
R-eminds us of the bride in white; 
C-hrist is the given groom, 
E-ndorsing the truth and 
L-ight. 

B-ride is the true church 
R-edeemed by Christ's blood; 
I-t's all about salvation, 
M-aster plan of our God. 
O-n the seventeenth of May, the Lord shows the love for man; 
N-ever turn a deaf ear to Almighty God's master plan....

Mystical enchanting lady,
Elegant, shining, star,
Dainty little Aster,
Awaking inner flair,
Dressed with blooms,
For fashion,
Voguish stylish displays,
Spotlight designer catwalk,
Twinkles in moonlight rays
Models as she poses,
Her trends all the rage,
Popular among flowers,
Impressive color array,
Lighting up with creation,
Bringing an atmosphere.

Ah, the exotic blend of new spice
and desires on the tip of the tongue,
love's seductive dawning does entice
cinnamon cravings wakened among

thrills of ardent aster in Fall bloom,
whispers and lips in butterfly tease
stoking hearth’s heat in surrendered swoon
harvesting lust with vanilla ease

on eve of Autumn leaves and passion.

White cotton ball clouds, float above the pines
The wild lavender Aster, bloom by the brook
Where the fern lean over the gurgling water
It’s a warm August morning, before the hot heat
Every step brings me something more to see
Before I return to all the birds singing to me
To carry me through this beautiful summer day
	 -   That has only just begun   -

M-aster of your fate is God, 
E-ither during red or during blue; 
R-igorously depend on Him, 
R-elying not on 
Y-ou. 

P-rovidence is the Master of your fate, 
A-s He's the Captain of your destiny; 
T-he Lord is truly your guide, 
I-n your life seventh of January. 
A-llow your heart to possess the love, hope, and faith; 
M-aker of heaven and earth is the Master of your fate....

Master model of me like daughter, 
Other than being a master, also the synonym of incredible, 
The fairy which makes difficulty a silly thing, 
Horrible becomes funny, when you stay with her, 
Everything changes into miracle, also she brings the colours of joy, 
Really a blockbuster lover and clever! 

A gift for my mom on this Beautiful Mother's Day....
