Premium Member Crape Myrtle Petals on a Trampoline

Bits of crinkled purple
somersault 
doubling the downfall
of faster falling rain

The hummingbird shows me
her green side

Premium Member The Sad Story of Myrtle

There once was a turtle named Myrtle
Stuck in a plastic ring girdle
It altered her mass
Into an hourglass
Leaving her deformed and infertile.

Premium Member Myrtle Wins

Myrtle, the sea turtle
Wore a sports girdle. 
With green sneakers shoes.
She ran a fast race
Won for style first place.
Went viral, millions of views.

sad thoughts began to calm down
divorce had seemed like the end of her world
but there is something vastly calming about the sea
Myrtle Beach was healing her gladly


Premium Member Myrtle's Big Hurdle

There once was a proud lady named Myrtle
To overcome a very big hurdle --
   She inhaled very hard
   Sucked up all her lard --
Then squeezed into her wedding-day's girdle

Premium Member Red Wheelbarrow

The red wheelbarrow
with its cement smudges
and rusty scratches
dwarfs the white rabbit
nibbling young lettuce
covered in morning dew
next to the flowering
crepe myrtle.

Premium Member Crepe Myrtle

The Crepe Myrtle bursts
raspberry exuberance
in early August's burning.
Now's when I miss you.
Soon alder leaves like hearts bleed
red, pass my window churning.

Fertile Turtle On Beach Named Myrtle

Fertile Turtle On Beach Named Myrtle

We finally found out she had been fertile;
And marooned on a beach named Myrtle;
Her spoil;
A big boil;
Each egg did turn out to be  a tiny turtle.

sun greets me warmly
extra humid this morning
air feels muggy

trees at a standstill
not a whisper of a breeze
horrible august

nothing is breathing
flowers praying for some dew
pink crepe myrtle nods

Premium Member Cornucopia of Pageantry

Sukkot's a holiday seven days long
    supplies to buy, a home to build
  No one's inside in our neighborhood

  The fragrance of myrtle
    the esrog's beauty
  Cornucopia of pageantry
    harvest's heavenly booty

A Couple, Otherwise Distracted

Stems of myrtle, mint
Bends and closer he.
One whiff, and delirious:
"Her loving feeling!"

Trunks of ficus*, fir
Draws and cooler she.
One hug, and proudly assured:
"His strength, sheltered in!"

Myrtle Girdle

Alas this is a tale of overweight Myrtle
With help from ladies getting into her girdle,
They stressed and strained and pulled so hard,
When an exploding Myrtle caught them all off guard,
The ladies were placed in great peril.

MAPLES

    Majestic maple trees,
    Mixed coloured autumn leaves.
    Mirrored on cool waters,
    Montage miscellanies.
    Myrtle, flame, silvered streaks, 
    Magenta, edged with  gold, 
    Moonlight bliss, lovers kiss.

Galactic Gothic

The Age of Man
Is but a brief, abbreviated span
Of seconds ticking in a moment’s course.
Infinity: the final source
Is like a charnel house, with cypress tree
And yew and myrtle, growing in the graves of Space,
Where decomposes Time’s own face.

Premium Member Ablaze

Crepe Myrtle ablaze, set afire
By sunbeams peeking through
A heavy damp fog that settles
And kisses the fresh dew

Golden leaves contrast the Myrtles
Those leaves on the pecan
And amber needles hang weighted
Lovely in the new dawn
