Hollyhocks will bloom
in their second year of growth
reaching to the sky.

meadow larks melodic songs
uplift the most hardened hearts
reminding us of grandmothers
hollyhocks, and bleeding hearts
an innocent and softer time....

In the sunny cottage garden
The hollyhocks thrive
Pleasing to the eye
And loved by the butterflies
Hollyhocks are the eatery
For larvae to thrive
Perpetuating the Painted Lady
Also pleasing to the eye...

monarchs lead the petite butterflies
daisies, gladiolas and hollyhocks smile
two welcoming Adirondack chairs
under yellow and orange umbrellas
welcome my friend to my garden
where foxglove and iris await...

Pink rose of Sharon blossoms
Look like a field of hollyhocks surrounded by verdant green
Weird how long it took me to notice this
I am not as observant as I thought I was
Possibly not observant in any way at all....

I held the hand
of a madman
hiding in Hollyhocks
blending with ogres, 
eerie in tombs, 
chasing stars through
their animal shapes; 
others, a witch 
to their ghosts, anew, 
those gardens
though full, were
dark worlds at night...

Apples.. beetles.. caterpillars..
daisies everywhere.. 
fertile ground.. hollyhocks.. 
Ivy jumbled kegs..
leafy mint.. nematodes..
oregano..peas.. 
quiet rest sunsets.. tomatoes under vines.. 
wheelbarrows.. xanadu yearning zeal!...

late Spring
refining
the sun,
zealous to
shine forth.

the flowers
prepping
for garden
party —

red hippy
roses,
marigolds,

soaring
hollyhocks,

Summer sprouts.

Cottage door open
A blooming path welcomes you
back home once again
Hollyhocks have been calling
with the scents of the roses

Warm nights are mellow
and bluebirds fly at the moon
Your letter brought joy
saying you'd be coming soon
Yellow cottage awaits you...

The moonlight? 
singed him at night.
How will you write a poem ?

       *

Standing at window, 
you watch a shooting star?
hearing a cuckoo’s two-note call.

        *

Picking red hollyhocks,
your face swims before me,
and fleeting time !

music in the trees
gossips teem in green bowers
marigolds abuzz

cracker butterflies
among burgundy roses
twittering away

hollyhocks abuzz
with news of the honeybee
such blues pinks and blacks

crickets go screaming
near the endless babbling brook
in the orange dusk...

bright blooms surround it
it has an old fashioned charm
colorful cottage
most folks stop to admire it
on their journey through the day

the road of beauty
leads where the blooms are crowding
in the still morning
blue pink red yellow and black
purple and cream-sunshine's dream...

Freshly liberated from an overgrown bushy trail,
I saw myself skimming waist-deep in Lavender,
Sentries to the rear, Hollyhocks, and Foxgloves,
Bougainvillea to the left and, to the right of me,
Chose a meadow of Prairie Smoke and Daisies,
Held at a water lily pond airs Rainbow butterfly....

Marigolds are my favorite, variegated, ruffled and sweet. 
Roses, hollyhocks, bluebells or coneflowers, hard to beat. 
Did I mention lilies, or daffodils? They do lead the parade.
Cannot eliminate purple lilacs whose scent wafts in the shade.
Fragrances of spring in the air.  Love all flowers I have to share....

The new owners 
marveled at the 
long forgotten perky mini doilies 
with their dainty white petals

two layers of weeds away
from soft pink hollyhocks 
hidden for forty years
alongside the forgotten abandoned barn

a human had probably not seen
any of these dainty delights since the eighties
when the farm was lost by the family
to bankruptcy...

pom pom hollyhocks
seven feet tall and frilly~

                         a strong wind their end

Mystical,
And beautiful,
Translucent swirls,
Bursting hollyhocks of color,
Fairies dance in her blooms 
Borrowing her ruffles as skirts,
Dreams and fantasy awaken,
Igniting and sparking,
Imagination,
Her remarkable growth,
Edible and healing qualities,
Standing tall, she guards,
High along the fences,
From her high position,
She watches as her magical,
Garden comes alive.
And the evening party begins....

Among the spires of the Hollyhocks and Lupins,

Down beneath the dense and colourful Canterbury Bells and Forget-Me-Nots,

Life thrives and scurries about, different creatures go about their jobs,

Dancing to natures tune beneath the Lilies and Magnolias,

Covered under a canopy of cherry tree blossom that carpets the ground,

They go about their business barely making a sound,

This beauty we know as nature continues always to astound....

Hollyhocks will not let me go;
hold my hands.
Shying away
they were turning to ashes.

In the night, wisteria
emanates a hungry cry.
Though wind had announced
sun has not kept the promise.

I gasp for the body silver
like ancient lust,
pure and paranoid –
asking for the head of a spider.

This non-violent resistance
seeks more space to pasteurize
the beautiful milk in gold containers.
A passion flower was going to melt.
