Petunias preen provocatively
pathetic persnickety performance
pretty parasols procure the prize...

There lives this lady on Poetry Soup
One of the sweetest of the whole damn group
Dragons and Trolls
Owned her soul
They ate her petunias, those damn nincompoops...

Koalas called Joeys are marsupials
Was told they sure don't smell like petunias
An Australian lady
Said they smell like feces
Will take her word for it, though dubious...

irridescent, junebugs kissing lilies
milking natures opulent petunias
quenching roses, soaring through

Paper crisp, dead brown, leaves
cluster between the straggly vines. 
The potted purple petunias valiantly
hold their final blooms, alive and regal
within death’s grip, refusing to surrender....

Petite orange carrots were slipping off of her hat
Lilies and petunias said “what do you think of that?”
Roses and carnations gave a little appreciation dance.
Celery and parsley flavored a stew south of France....

After buttercups came daisies,
exquisite floating garnet hibiscus, 
iris, jasmine, kooky little marigolds,
nasturshums, orchids, petunias, roses, 
sunflowers,trailing varicolored wisteria,
xerophites, and yellow zinnias....

Cacophonous crow
Raucously robbing robins
Pandemonium

Salivating snail
Predator of petunias
Duck delicacy

Sweet Spring surprises
Doe dining delicately
Nature nourishes

Hungry hawk hovers
Quiet quail quakes and quivers
Corn cover conceals...

Red Geraniums
In the flower beds
This my choice~red
Wave petunias run
Down the sides~purple

The old sage said
When I grow old
I'll wear purple
With a red hat

I know it 
Doesn't match
But again

Could be 
Some fun

Laugh!!  ...

The torrential rains
Poured into September with a vengeance 
As the black clouds were driven in
By autumn winds,
Giving summer a sudden farewell. 
Crushing my fading petunias
As the leaves along the dike
Were painted all shades of gold
And pushed to the sodden ground....

In fertile loam soil rising
From railroad ties aligned new,
When spring rains and warm sun come
I will plant petunias, pink and blue.

Just give him a little tender loving care
and suddenly he's dancing on air
When I give him petunias and roses
 he suddenly smiles and poses

Red is in the flower beds of roses, petunias and carnations,
Blooms dream in magical moonlight, now that stars are out,
And permeate a deep, black night, with burgundy fragrance!
Amidst the rich pearl dewdrops, breezes are scattered about,
As fond reveries of bronzed sunshine, under pale stars flout!...

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...

Sweet spring surprises

Quiet quail quakes and quivers

Winners and losers
Natures game of survival
No reprieves granted

whisper of lilac in the summer’s day
variety of flowery fragrances wafting
streaming sunbeams warming gray striped tabby
mums and petunias decorating wrap-around porch
wasps and bees collecting butterflies and faeries
country magic adorned with marigolds, tomatoes, and roses
