Nature knows that smell forbids.
Aphids avoid marigolds.
Match for a reflex magnet
in your berry patch.

It’s not the vernal equinox.
It is not the last snow.
It is not when the last
Of the botanical
winterkill is managed.
It is when the urge
Brings you out to the garden
And the warmth of the soil
Makes you caress it…
And then you must smell it....

Alluring wanton eyes
I see them
I feel them
On me
And through me
But why?
Why, when I should be at home?
The sweet smell of a botanical garden
Captivating
Intoxicating
This lovely flower
Statuesque and willowy
Bewildered...
She comes closer
But I ask.... Why?...

Botanical Garden
 
 
When she arrives
in sunlight,
orchid ribbons flowing
in her hair,
an orchid dress rising,
she finds the rest of us
are standing there,
simply unaware
that only she can hear
the applause
of a thousand orchids
break the air.

Let’s use Majorelle blue, okay?
I nodded.
Knowing nothing of it.

Morocco botanical garden blue.
Named for Jaques Majorelle.
French painter.

Nuturerer of gardens for forty years.
Eighteen years after his death.
Yves St. Laurent and Pierre Berge’ restored it.
A glorious lively cobalt blue....

Late spring explosion
New shoots on barren trees
Birds' famous concert

Botanical fantasies in front gardens
The scence of nectar and dew

i suck
a drop
of honey
from your
honey
suckle
flower

not
taking
a bite
but a bit
nibbling
on your

aroused
she was
yellow
she was
thorny
a rose

then i
kissed
her two
lips and

other
tulips

planting
my kisses
hoeing

Love Is

Two hearts beating as one synchronized with the setting sun
Two minds in a spinning spun kindled kisses on the run
Euphoric ecstasy upon sailing the sapphire sea
A botanical bliss spree Loves fragrance for you and me.

Pink inks of dawn glow 
through a dissolving fog
lifting botanical shadows
alive with enchanting birds. 
Rustling leaves stir the world awake.

Over the horizon a bustling city throbs,
a million or more people 
going to their jobs,
missing this quiet solitude.

Radios thump. They drive
bumper to bumper,
eyes glued to the freeway.

Another jewel sunrise 
slips right by them....

This book of botanical images
in sepia depict the petals, veins, leaves
of exotic plants.  Listed alphabetically are illustrations
with a reader's favorites’ marked with string;
carefully indexed, scientific, dun-drab
they conceal the dream of translucent petals,
leaves that reflect green light, adaptive roots.

In idle fancy, a dreamlike flower unfolds
upright from the page.

My neighbour
wondered where all the birds were going to
"to my yard,"
I replied
the Cockatoos for the green almonds
Blackbirds and Mynas for ground cover insects
Crows bark-scavenging for borers and tree worms
Honeyeaters fighting all comers for flowering red gums pollen
Pigeons fossicking the soil minding their own business
to finish giant Fruit Bats
some say escapees from a botanical gardens cull
add a creepy aura at night....

I am sitting in front of an empty building.
Large red, white and blue sign says “for lease”.
What would I do here?
Creative writing center?
Art center?
Botanical garden?
Toy museum?
Clutter our Way or the Highway?
Birdbrains Anonymous?
Crones United?
Hag’s Homemade Brews?
Psychedelic Phenomenon?
Krutsinger’s Believe it or Rot?
Voodoo Dolls and Vampires?
The ideas are endless.
I dial the number, to find out what the rent is....
