A Morning Treasure

Marigolds


Upon taking a morning walk in May,
a bright splash of color enters my day.

It’s  Marigolds growing in a patch,
their colors so vivid, nothing can match
the splendor the sunshine brings to each bloom.

I pause so my eyes can consume
the the sea of colors, orange, yellow, scarlet and gold!
What a morning treasure–a sight to behold!

Ol’ Red

Geranium
Red Geranium

 

Sturdy, staunch, old fashioned flower
The staple of gardens in spring.
Your beautiful blooms last into fall
Three seasons of color you bring.
A true bloomer are you.
A plant so easy to grow.
Many a Gardener calls you friend.
Geranium, you, I am proud to know.

Dahlia you look so delicate,
Dressed  in very light  pink.
Petals perfectly poised.
So well , they interlink!
Pretty as a pinwheel.
Your beauty  brightens my day.
Glad to make your acquaintance,
This beautiful morning in May!

Lovely Lilacs

Lilac!  The sight of you is like the visit of an old friend.

Your fragrance brings back fond memories of childhood
days in May when you bloomed in my front yard.

We children would run and play while enjoying the scent
you surrounded us with.

Mother would let us pick bouquets of you to grace our table and
to share with neighbors who were not as fortunate to own a bush such as you.

Lilac,  I loved you as a child,
and I still enjoy your purple splendor in my yard
and upon my table in May.

Wonderful Wisteria

The old fence is hidden by
Your purple pendent clusters.
The sight of you brings joy to my morning
as your fragrance permeates the air.
My senses react pleasantly, and
my mind marks a memory of this moment.
Wisteria, starting the day with you
has enriched my life and uplifted my spirits.

The Queen of Climbers

Clematis
Clematis


What a spectacular show
You put on for the travelers
Passing by your domain.

It is certainly one I want to see again.
Though I captured your full glory
Through my lens,
I should like to return again
To your domain,
And spend some time just enjoying you,
and the magnificent view
offered as you majestically climb
In full regalia of colors so fine.

Oh Clematis you’re such a  beautiful flowering vine!
