toasty variegated yarn from Oskaloosa
the hues of colors
red blue yellow green
knitting needles are clicking along

warm mittens and slippers
afghans and shawls
a dress for a toddler
clickety clack clickety clack...

Written in ABC 

Another butterfly, colors dappled, enters, flying gracefully heavenward.  I just kneel,
looking, mesmerized.  Natures overture plays quietly. Restless, suddenly thrusting upward,
variegated wings, exiting, youthfully zoom....

Birthed from the Earth,
Deep Among the evergreens
Toes sink in variegated moss
Fertile to the touch
I recall...

Singing their melody
Four notes echo from the valley
A bird's song
Deep among the evergreens
Caressing my soul
I recall......

vast wonder-scape

expanse
                   variegated flora silent joy

           confetti heat-swirl rise

oaken nesting suites sprinkled

              seedlings dispatched on cue

          avian and apis

propagate

Emerald grass gives a delightful view
With variegated strands of sage and blue
Freshly cut in rows of splendor
Children run with great adventure
Upon the grass they place a cloth
A basket filled with Mother’s lunch
Of bread and jam and milk and cookies
A perfect picnic on a Tuesday.

Absolutely beautiful carols,
Decorations elaborate,
Faces glowing,
Happy instrumentals,
Jolly kisses,
Lovely mistletoe needing
Only pucker- power,
Quick-stepping  reindeer,
Snow, treats unexpected,
Variegated wrappings.
Xmas yearly zaniness.


Dedicated to HGarvey Daniel Esquire

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....

Smiling brightly,
a field of happy faces
in golden glow;
dressed in their finest
variegated greens and gold’s,
they dance upon the breeze.
Pollinated by the bees,
seeds devoured by the birds,
nourish all life;
from birth to death to birth;
a symphony of beauty,
displayed upon Gaia’s breast.

turncoats in autumn
the stupendousness of leaves
sprinkle my driveway

golden as topaz
her variegated colors
autumns fine maple

rounded leaves of oak
plotting how to be crimson
sneering at walnut

stagnant fir soldier
retaining her verdent
keeping her counsel

october line up
shows off her gold finery
teasing november...

Pouring forth of genuine emotions
Overflowing with ideas and notions
Enjoyment, merriment, fun and commitment
Time immemorial in existence
Rich collection of world renowned poetry
Young talents attempting to create history
Shining example of one family
Opportunities to enter freely
Universally acknowledged
Passionately variegated...

I am a professional knitter, she said at her front door.
As if we could not guess it, we could barely see her floor.
Yarm was everywhere, in magnificent colors galore.
Variegated, twisted, baby soft, a knitted band aide on her sore.
Afghans piled high on couches were sleeping with a snore.
We knew she could make herself happy from here to forevermore....

On jade stems iris blooms gently swayed
in hues of lavender, dusty pink and mauve
until pollen seekers were lured to the banquet
of sweetmeats. Within velvet petals they feasted.

In Monet's garden the buddings grew
in variegated colors brushed on a canvas.
Pastel beauties that no fingers dared to cut,
for to be clipped at the height of life meant death....

A palette of tones and modes carefully laid on an unburning flame. _by Poet

  
 I gasp and utter silent sigh, in thrall
      poised on the edge of crisp susurrous fall
         mother's leaven variegated peaks
            lie on a sea of amber - scarlet streaks,
               yellow, and green allures xenial call

Variegated streaks
criss-crossing,
soothing lavender
then fiery maroon,
with belts of amber
in between. 

Slate blue bluffs
catch the sun before it lands,
dipping into the rippling orange
of the mottled lake.

The pitch black pines are still,
passed the rusty mesh
of a rickety screen door.
Our eyes were fixed
up to the moment
your coppered profile 
became shadow, 
and I could see you no more
in the hazy light....

golden chestnut browns sparkling against natures reds and yellows
oaks, maples, sycamores, pregnant with autumn leaves
mammoth round topped giants peppering the countryside
climbed maybe in our youth, but many limbs are way up high

new hampshire is a showcase of beauty in october
before her mountains lose their variegated spotted leaves
walnuts, acorns and almonds are falling now
into the open paws of excited happy squirrels...
