Sitting here on my couch
Gazing out my window
Things quiet and serene
Sunshine steaming down
Upon the daffodils
Birds happily feasting
As squirrel scurries by
Nature seems content
Not a worry nor care
Oh that we were there
Syllabic Verse
“Nature doesn’t hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” – Lao Tzu
This quote was on the tag of my favorite herbal tea bag. Ah, yes, that mankind could model nature…
Neighbor
And I had a
Delightful walk today
Inspite of all the troubling news
We saw
Colorful flowers blooming and
Cheerful sidewalk art
On display in the
Sunshine
Butterfly Cinquain
Yellow stars
Scattered about
Nod hello
Inviting
Me to stop and watch them dance
Each day as I pass by
Shadorma
I seem to be obsessed
By all the colors of Spring
Bee in my bonnet
I can be found snapping pics
In random neighbor’s yards

Today it was so nice out again I just had to take a walk down the block to check out all the neighborhood yards to see how much Spring growth had appeared.
Well I was pleasantly rewarded as one neighbor had an abundance of vibrant
crocus blooming. The bees and I were happy and one even paused for a pic😊
Dreaming
Of warm soft breezes
Where colorful flowers
Dance to the sound of birdsong
Springtime
Cinquain
Flowers erase frowns and
Lift spirits.
On days when the
World seems colorless and
Everything is dreary, flowers
Remind us to
Stop, smile, and seek beauty everywhere
Acrostic
As I search among the flowers bright
Looking for one unique and pure
I find it a most useless plight
As I search among the flowers bright
In all effort, as hard as I might
I do my search long and very sure
Finding tis only one truly right
As I search among the flowers bright
Looking for one unique and pure

Based on 1 Peter 1:24
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away
A delight to the eyes
Bright and bold, soft and fragile
The flowers of summer
Haiku
Cheerful tiny blooms
A scattering of yellow
Birds plant flower seeds
Haiku
Not sure how these pretty little yellow blooms came to be here in my garden, as I didn’t plant them, perhaps the birds carried some seeds and dropped them here. I am not sure if they are weeds or flowers, but I am enjoying the sight of them as they add a bit of color to my otherwise non blooming garden area right now.
Covered in roses
Their fragrance trailing her
June passed by
Bidding us fond farewell
Soon she’ll be a fond memory
