Paula’s partying parrot paraded pridefully past Pete
Particularly poised Petunia pranced persimmon sweet.
Pete preferred Paul’s personality, plowing past Petunia’s pail.
Quizzable questionable quandary quickly confusing quibbling quail....

U-Unadulterated by outside chaos.
N-Nesting their glory inside each basket.
I-Illuminating space with effortless beauty.
A-Acclaiming praises to the God of life....

Peculiar Petunia was very strange indeed,
I mean how many six-year-olds would choose to wear tweed?
On the first day of school, in an effort to impress,
Petunia chose a hand-woven olive green dress,
The other little girls wore lace in pink and red,
But Petunia knew the value of a harder-wearing thread...

To come miraculously true.

pretty, elegant
blooming, climbing, growing
petunia, daisy, dandelion, thistle
spreading, clinging, suffocating
stubborn, unwanted

Morning tumbles into my arms,
I give a gentle hug,
Smooth down 
Her long gauzy dress,
Run my fingers through her rays
And braid sweet pea tendrils in blond pigtails.

Lifting up her quivering chin
I gaze into sapphire eyes,
Drawl encouraging morning words:
“Good” and “glory”,
“Dove”,
And she embraces the petunia day....

"...there rests a pensive petunia, breathing, but sleep-waltzing..." ~ Ink Empress (not the author of this poem, but the inspiration)

When awake, I never dance - 
nor would I, given the chance. 
My earthly job is to account, 
arriving at the right amount.
Yet, violins help me count sheep, 
and I go waltzing in my sleep.

My eye is quickly seized by a gorgeous glimmer of purple; I walk over to take a better look. The renegade petunias have arrived to announce the imminent arrival of summer.  They are supposed to be annuals, but no one has told them, so here they are, magically showing summer the way. 


purple petunia
vibrant and beautiful
spring into summer...

I've got a pet Petunia
You know what I mean

When I'm chill I pet my pet Petunia
And it gives me a roar

It's been appreciated from time to time from others
Pretty likeable to me

As it gets wet and juicy
It likes hearing wet and juicy gossip

It may have cobwebs growing cross ways
But someone will come along and give it a good sweep

Lol...

struggle
and breath
talk
exhale
and walk

and I look upon the light that surrounds me
I remember a different time in blue

The leaves are falling
I couldn't bear to take the dead petunia plant

warm one day
cold the next
call for rain
some times 

Some day we will know why the sky is blue
I was meant for you

two yellow petunias
for winter time...

With no one hereabout
As above streetlight shone
“Hello beautiful”
Endurance rules you flout
Daintily peeping out
Flourishing with aplomb

By each gainful degree
Amid detritus flows
Purple petunia grows
If only all could see 
Limpet tenacity
Hidden in the shadows

Survival rates are slim
In mind you never dim

I deep-sixed toys, games, a bed and a picture book
Our font porch now has a much more organized look
In May I kept hundreds of junk I did not need
Crayolas, pinwheels, and blue petunia seed

Weirdly thinking I might someday need this or that
bent clarinet, torn photo and stuffed bat
knife broken in two, huge bag of red clover
a lesson this hoarder learns over and over...

Though you are but a stranger to me, I offer you a kiss.
And though I’ve never met you, I know you and what you’re searching.
Look tenderly at me, and you will find it.
It is in me what you, stranger, yearn for most.
I’ll quench your thirst, I’ll satisfy your craving.
For in that great smelter that forged your feet and eyes, was forged the small seed that gave me life.
We’re brethren, stranger. I am you....

radiant spectrum
what is this flying wonder
attention captured
a chrysalis yesterday
now winged creature emerges

“my pollen’s sweetest,”
petunia attempts to lure
throughout the garden
blossoms seek her brief visits
the butterfly flutters by

to her fans, she bows
bestows butterfly kisses
captivating all
beauty flies, accepts applause
enjoying admiration
