Geranium
Geraniums
cheerful and lavish
blossoms of red and pink
white and red orange
explode
after gray days of rain
the heady aroma
awakens images of comfort
in grandmother’s garden
Bless the grace
called geranium
Supplemental images
the wavering sparkle
of intricate web wet with dew
the lazy flight of nits
and bugs in the warm light
cascades of shades of green
cooling my experience
the ooze of wet dirt
between the planted toes
There is delight in the garden
with the bonus of vegetables
Flourish
Love is like geraniums —
a profusion of beauty,
color and distinct perfume
yet rather common in it’s willingness
to flourish most
anywhere
Spring Garden
In the garden, early spring
on a mound of rich soil
sat a little plant
——————————————-
From delicate tendril green
to bushy and strong
the heart of the garden grows
in cadence of heartbeat
bees buzz and birds
dance on happy wings
beauty and vegetables
nourish my soul
