The lily stands tall
Soaking in the summer sun
A delight to the eye

Floral Fragrance
Flower in full bloom
Dancing in the summer breeze
Shared its fragrance
Haiku
A Golden Rose
This little flower wasn’t in the garden of a queen,
Or even in a place where it might be seen,
Yet it was beautifully dressed,
Looking it’s best, as if blessed,
Bringing joy where it dwelt,
Sharing fragrance with any who smelt.
Oh that I, daily might try, to be
An affinity, in similarity.
Rhyme
Today’s Choice
What will you be today?
A beautiful bird
Singing a cheerful song,
Or a negative voice
That tears down others hopes?
What will you be today?
A beautiful flower
Sharing its sweet fragrance,
Or a cold bitter brook
Drowning in past regrets?
What will you be today?
A heart filled with love
Spreading joy to everyone,
Or just an empty shell
Casting shadows of doubt?
What will you be today?
The choice is yours alone.
You can change the world
Or let the world change you.

Her number one bud to be.

Winter just keeps showing up overnight and leaves us with traces of snow to wake up to. Poor blooming plants are not appreciating the nighttime visits. Thankfully it melts quickly at morning light.
Tragedy
Tearful eyes speaking
“Goodbye my Camellia
Fairest flower of red.
Before us you were wisked
Away by a thief,
A mischievious marauder
Living in a tree
Near your fragrant scarlet blooms.
His greed became your demise.”
Choka
I just saw that pesky gray Squirrel who is a frequent visitor to my yard snatch a beautiful red blossom off my new Camilla plant I just bought!
As I watched, frozen in horror, he scurried up the tree to sit on a branch munching on it for his mid morning snack.
February’s Floret

While I slept
Beautiful posy in sight
Ahead of Springtime
