Best Garden Path Poems

Dozens of gallant white tulips swooning
Promising fragrant notes to ponder
Fiery stains of red passion tattooed 
Whistling breeze freshens her view

Last petal standing determines her fate
Daisy has faith her true love won't escape
A golden heart stems from his solid core
She needs no reminding she's been here...

When radiant blooms of springtime abound
in every humble garden grows
many a fancier flower to be found 
though noblest is still the rose

How gently do the ivy vines cling
like sunshine on mossy walls
how lovely does the little bird sing
his sweet, throaty enthralls


Where blazing morning glories climb

" In The Pathway Of Light 
I Have Seen 
Deluded Dreams 
and Mist-Moonbeams 
In The Garden, 
They Fell At My Feet 
Where We, 
Had Made Plans To Meet ... " 

And I Waited & Waited
For You To Come
I Waited Until
The Morning Sun
And Then I Could
Wait...

That damn weekly times (circa 1900), 
Afternoonified with Gigglemugs
sending me off my chump
Editors Half-rats, Not up to dick,
the meater.

Genderfied, I am
A woman of incredible script,
stylograph committed,
deemed a whooperup,
yet her prose is
umble-cum-stumble.

The longing expressed
through the lovers eye
poked-up the meater,
who Batty fanged my dyke
with his footle 

His...

I brush a tall primrose in early bloom
On the evening breeze a yellow perfume

An American Doublet...

WALKING ON THE GARDEN PATH

Will you hold my hand near you, you’ll see,
On the garden path will you walk with me?

I’ll show you in the gleam of the morning sun
The colors of your flushing face of thirteen 
Splash on the flowers glowing like your smile
On...

aster, astilbe, daisy, daylily
bellflowers bejeweled and foxglove forever
roses robust and hued poppies posh
sunflowers sublime, candytuft, cardinals
hollyhock, hosta, snaps snazzy
primrose precious and sunflowers sublime
I found down the path of a wild garden

Oh! How lovely
It all smelled
The purple lilacs
The sweet peas
The violets
The petunias 
All those
And the scented primrose
‘These are all yours,’
She would often say
With a conviction
Which was so difficult
To ignore
‘Take these
And if you want
I’ll give you more’ 
And on the 
Dirt track 
Walked the two of us
Hand...

as if Monet had planted water lilies in Babylon

          hanging gardens at the heart of a canvas of joy

LOVE IN THE GARDEN PATH 

You walk for years in wasteland of winter,
reach the waiting arms of warm sea azure,
get a niche in yearning heart to enter.
That is where you’ll discover love obscure.

You see silver moon span dark sky hollow,
at dawn the crimson sun rises...

Between  white daisies on which footsteps pass
Dandelions dancing upon the grass.

Simmering summer days drained by the cloud burst rains,
flow down through the autumn bridge to halcyon horizon,
where the burnt ginger sky rises to seamless azure space,
swan cloudlets wave farewell to the south flying swallows.

The trees clasping the canvas of my meadow get coat of gold,...

How do you balance
the kind and the cruel

The good and the bad
of life’s golden rule

As reason pulls tightly,
treason pulls back

Living in conflict,
together intact

Tragic, comedic,
while often as both

 Angels and Demons
commingle betrothed

A savior, destroyer,
calling our name

A garden of riches
—caught in the flames

Intention of action…
inaction pursues

Deflecting commitment,
with roadblocks infused

Intention of action…
step one and step three

Step two is the question
—of what comes to be

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2020)...
