Glazed orange china
with dogwood branches blooming
filled with bergamot
to stain the lips in henna
warm the palms with bitter steam.
childhood home
a cinder block
on a dusty road
children still climb and play
around the same dogwood

glorifying my heart strings
nurturing spring time

cool mist’s embrace
Smoky Mountains hiding
morning miasma
white dogwood flowers
Tennessee deep forest shade
fiddleheads unfurl
A chickadee sings in the dogwood tree,
sun rays highlight edges of pink blossoms;
spring awakens all life to renewal.
dogwood blooms
blanket gnarled branches
pillow clouds

First Place
Watercolor sketch
Of a dogwood flower on
Your sun-kissed shoulder
Sangria toned, calls my lips
Regret turns sweetness bitter

Dame Dogwood, butterfly-dressed
in white, flitters, fine hi-fi ~
Viewing such spring leitmotiv...
A hushed opera!

Playful gray squirrels
Chasing in my dogwood tree
A wary eye out
For coyotes and feral cats
Pay no attention to me

Happy nuthatch taps
Drumming his special rhythm
On my dogwood tree
Robin provides melody
Tone deaf bluejay acts annoyed
written June 19, 2021
dogwood blooms open
revealing the cross Christ bore
center crown of thorns
nail dents on petals
edge of petals is blood-stained
glorious Easter

A bumblebee missed my head this morning
Flew into the plate-glass window, without warningl,
And bounced off into the dogwood tree
I wonder, who was better off…him or me?
written July 30, 2021
No perfumed rose buds,
only pale sun in cold sky...
without harmony.
No busy robins
on those gorgeous dogwood trees...
without harmony.
No wild kids laughing,
chasing scary butterflies...
without harmony.
April comes dressed in dogwood and wisteria
She hums her tune of birdsong, buzzing bees, and the gentle creaking of tree branches swaying in her cool morning breeze
Her breath of fresh pine lingering into the warm afternoon sun
Dogwood
Full of blossoms
Blushing pink against green
Petals of four crowd slight branches
Summer flowers reign birthright of season
Grace a vase as the centerpiece
Creates smiling dimples
Unique beauty
Dogwood
Awake ©
white clouds of dogwood
geese trumpet beside the pond
bird song heralds morn
hollow makes a nest
dainty dwelling slumbers on
in the wooded gloom
screen door creaks open
smoke swirls from the chimney mouth
cabin stirs awake ~
My trembling feet may venture
Where others dare not go
These fingers touch the blood red thorns
And remind my heart to beat slow
But still the sparrow sings to me
Quietly from the dogwood tree
Echoing across the falling leaves
"Come to me, come to me."
I awaken to an invigorating delight.
The iridescence of the sky, lye within clouds in purest form.
As my eyes peeled to a dogwood in bloom.
Daffodils and lilac brought sweet smell to the air.
Nature has set forth to allure my cognition.
Oh' beautiful day.

Dogwood Tree
Many white blooms in spring
Four petals have blood drops on each
These are Christ's head, hands, and feet with the center red berries
Being the bloody crown that was placed on his beautiful brow that drouped in the pain, heat
Churches sit upon red hills
And blue birdsong such a thrill
Romantic eyes looks that kill
Onyx night sky blue and still
Lovely southern accent that rings
In ears like song of sweetest dreams
Neighborhood nosey busy body
And dogwood flowers by the creek
As cool raindrops caress red leaves
And waterdroplets cling
Clouds shade red berries of the dogwood
Formed in early spring
Fall makes a big splash, rains all day
Soon will come October's cold
But who knows what fickled fall will
bring, cloudy? sunny bold!
A splash of white rises in blossoms tall
On the Dogwood trees near the stone wall
They have been growing year to year
Now they have bloomed with spring cheer
Decorated in white surrounded by green
They are shining to fill in this beautiful scene

DREAMS DEFERRED
dandelion dreams
dancing doting dogwood tree
deforestation
THE QUIET ONES
dark heart’s art tar scars
black blood beating beckoning
sociopath scream
BUTTERFLY BRUNCH
black blue butterfly
breathless beauty blessed beware
bird beak bite bloody
Mountain Morning
white clouds of dogwood
geese trumpet beside the pond
bird song heralds morn
hollow makes a nest
dainty dwelling slumbers on
in the wooded gloom
screen door creaks open
smoke swirls from the chimney mouth
cabin stirs awake
