Wild Wisteria Vine In Winter
The wild wisteria's vine in winter
Sends its roots out and deep
It draws up moisture and rich nutrients
To prepare for coming spring
As in each rest period of winter
It goes deeper into the rich earth
So, its shoots can gain momentum
To reach for the sun when spring touches earth
When all is ready in spring
And winter disappears
The plant searches

Amethyst Wisteria
Among an arcade of arching willow,
multiplying in clusters of lilac confetti.
Enchanting petals droop from twin stems,
tantalisingly diffusing an alluring aromatic scent.
Hardy climbing vines, cascading from above,
yielding a timeless grace of floral splendour.
Sparkling in sunlight with leaves of khaki,

Wisteria
I've battled every year,
To keep the Wisteria clear.
Away from the tree,
Swaying so gracefully.
The vine has caught a branch,
Refusing to let it go.
Tightening its grasp,
I wonder how long the tree will last.
Cutting the Wisteria away,
Year after year,

Ethereal
Wisteria grows rampant its beauty displayed
Lavender clusters of perfected flowers
Forming an archway an ethereal display
Their elegance unworldly admired for hours.
In soft summer rain, they grow refreshed
Luminous shade that catches one's eye
With gentle motion, they sway and impress
Exquisite moment relished we softly sigh.
Clusters of blossoms heavy on vine
Blissful respite soothes weary mind
To enjoy and wonder

Enigma
As dusk draws closed her curtains
Of willows and wisterias
I cannot tell for certain
Which is more mysterious
The mourning dove that does not grieve
But sits in silent silhouette
Or her mate who takes his leave
Into the night without regret.

The Bridge of Dreams
Purple plumes dangle amid the verdigris
the sweet-scented Wisteria Kapitan
a footbridge of Feng Shui dreams
enraptures my inner child's spirit.

Wisteria Bridge
Wisteria bridge spans the traveling river
in vibrant hues of verdigris and blues;
I find myself once again strolling through
vines of sweet-scented, lilac-colored plumes;
embraced by their silky, delicate deliciousness.
The serenity of these gentle flowered vines
casts its magic over the old footbridge
and I am reminded of childhood, collecting
fallen flowers for Mom's table in summer.
Lavender dreams flooded my young

Hideaway
sheltered in the blooms
a refuge in calm arbor
soundless, with lush scents
a cool, green respite
like frogs on jade lily pads
I may never leave
noonday's crimson heat
cannot find my safe haven

Wistful Wisteria
WISTFUL WISTERIA
wistful wisteria,
lavender-hued and laden
with grapelike produce.
wistful like a willow.
I’m hanging about the fence
where buzzing bees
remind me
of life and death.
amidst the ivy,
the hum of hives,
the lavender fruit
of the eyes.
wishful for paradise.

Winsome Wisteria Sonnet
Winsome Wisteria Sonnet
Eden, open your ardent arms to grace
Wisteria's soft lilac petaled blooms
Draped stunningly about Spring’s sunny face
In softest shades of lavender like plumes.
Your aroma wafts heady in the breeze
When graceful racemes descend from above.
Divine as the frilling flowering trees
Your stunning sight captures my heart with love.
Goddess

Arbor of Wisteria and Clematis
Arbor of Wisteria and Clematis
Memory of appealing Wisterias
Uncovering the grand butterfly bush;
near the lilacs and lonely gardenias;
as the light essence of spring bring a rush.
little fairies dance like faux ballerinas
autumn's pussy willows now but a hush
that coldness felt deep during winter's wrath.
The equinox whispers from a warmer path
Pumpkins and gourds sitting by the corn husks.

Wisteria
A beauty with love
A beauty with obsession
A beauty with life
Lavender flowers
White, pink, purple, mauve also
Perfect bliss in mind
Deciduous vine
Symbolizing obsession
Add colours in our mind
With lightly scented
Bath in strong sunlight
With poisonous seed
True bliss of nature
Perfect ornamentation
A solace of mind
Stunner of nature
Enchanting to heavy eyes
Gift of our nature
