in the over-grown back yard~
a rooster crows...

Greeting the waking peach tree
They're happy and free...

My favorite fruit is the peach
I pick one from the tree
and pick out more within reach
eating them with glee...

Glossy glow velvet
Sunripe peach tree high up
Nectar beckons now
Reach up high to grab the light
Glossy glow of peaches grow...

An angel
is a peach tree
always giving fruit to the poor
who come near
to restore bliss they lost
and help overcome all painful fire...

Oh how beautiful,
Is this little peach tree,
With my wondering eyes,
I really do see,
Two little peaches,
So delightful,
So Plump,
Waiting to be picked,
By little old me....

red orchard aflame
winter's angular sunshine...
peach tree buds explode  

Some of the peach orchards
look like a flame with the 
buds swelling 'pon the trees...

pink blossoms are budding on broken limbs
and I marvel at the strength
of old resilience

she would be so pleased
her peach tree
survived a harsh year

The  envious peach tree watched the nut
produce great quantities
so she resolved to do the same
“no one out does me.”
When the harvest came
her children did abound
which caused her roots to snap
and broke her to the ground....

It's Summer,
The peach tree is gone,
The plums just didn't come in,
Work moves along
      and the rest of the Set is here,
Next only the bored.

New friends I see
    coming to me,
A lover new
     with song and touch
           with a silent place
To love and rest....

cardinal red perched
on barren peach tree branches~
half-moon shining down

sparrows smile at me
from earthen patio pot~
heralds spring onset

Lying under the peach tree
mini rays of holy light warm my soul
the pond ripples echo
serenity completely present
birds create notes
while I sync with the mother of all life
leaves descend with grace
clouds transform under my command
the aerial blue becomes my canvas
my fingers are the brushes
and I start painting a rainbow
with a swipe of a hand...

i'm standing
underneath
her peach tree
shaking because
i'm unsure

but i take a stand
and shake her tree
and always hope
because hope may
bring a blessing

so from above
not god sent
but heavy limbs
and my shaking
bring me blessings

of all the fruits
that hung for me
only one let loose
choosing me
her peach

i need not
ask T. S.
do i dare
to eat a peach
HELL yes...

calypso darting
peering through open windows
rufous hummingbird

an old gourd hanging
blowing gently in the breeze
its peach tree abode

-----
this hummingbird has been hanging around all season, at first i thought it was simply due to the feeders. after doing some lawn maintenance today, i saw it entering a hollowed out gourd i put in my peach tree last summer. i figure, s/he is now part of the estate, may as well give it a name: calypso....

     "12 Days of Christmas Craves"



On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
12 twinkling tiaras

Eleven emerald elephants

Ten Tiffany trinkets

Nine naughty negligees

Eight echoing elves

Seven sequined stars

Six sexy singers

Five fake fingernails s s s

Four furry foxes

Three tingling tamborines

Two turtledoves

And peach tree in pail via e-mails s s s.

*For P.D.'S 12 Days of Christmas.

If I ever knew this day would come 
when my muse stops showing up
and words stop flowing through,
I would have breezed upon each chapter
all these breaths l feel for you.
If I ever knew our bench would once be empty,
Creases vanish from my coat
Our peach tree lies unaccompanied ,
and Spring-gardens will turn cold.
If I ever knew a night would come
where I stopped counting stars
in the jazzy sky so blue ...
I would have stopped the time in yester's arms,
and whispered , I love you....
