Hey, Johnny Jump Up,
Mischievous elf,
Your look like Viola,
Not like yourself.
Same shape, same colors -
Before our eyes,
Your yellow and purple,

Vibrant, bright colors
Painted on your five petals
Love, luck and happiness
Your gifts...

Petals dance in a circle ‘round
Susan’s sun-soaked, ebony...

WildflowersEach letter is one of the wildflowers;
On perfumed paper a love note written
as if dipped in such delicate language;
A universal unspoken language

The most ancient alphabet written;
It’s so sweet and so...

May Flowers"I shall be like a tree planted by the river ... " Psalm 1:3
Memories stir my heart to sing,
Alive as the trembling vines,
Yesterday’s melodies on golden wings…

Summer Flowers
By the time it's officially Summer,
Without a doubt, they will be arresting me.
Presently, they are budding under the crape myrtle.

SunflowersSunlit petals can be found
Underneath a center round,
Nodding ... both to and fro
Finding summer breezes' blow,
Loyal to a warm embrace
Over to the sun they face,
While they stand, o, so tall
Even into the months of...

Below heavens window, God's borrowed guest,
Or fulfil my heart where love had sadly failed.
Like crusading knights who sought the grail.
Sweet velvet petals that bridges hearts,
Where beauty...

You gracefully unfurled silken veils,
revealing hidden treasures of gold and ruby,
welcoming passersby drawn to your beauty.
Hummingbirds quenched by your nectar,
bumble bees hid in your...

Hosting in the hospital here,
Staring at strangers? someone dear?
