trill
of birdsong,
drifting springtime pollen,
soft as a lover's kiss,
dipping, swirling, soaring
over vibrant fields of wildflowers
where frissons of pleasure play
on every petal dancing

Taking The Stage RondineTaking the stage so easily,
the rousing solo of a rose;
Such a dance with melodic prose,
this impromptu jam leaves you free;

Paradise of Tulips
Regal tulips in purple, blue and yellow
pink splendor ambled in sensuous glow
tantalizing rows of frenzy red capes
beauty swaying ...bouncing in waves.
Clustered far and wide, their pouted lips

Uplifting Gifts
Bright yellow daffodils to see,
brighten a cloudy day for me
Such a beacon of hope outside
A flower like sunshine, a guide,
with all there is to do today...
Growing, blooming, I'll find my way
As yellow Goldfinch fly around
Fluttering...

Clouds of Grey HuesClouds of grey hues,
Swim across the air above.
A dove is flying high,
Racing to reach his nest below.
You can feel the rain,
Drizzling droplets from the sky.
Pouring as it comes,
Faster and faster raindrops...
