Leaves surround me
As I walk thru my garden,
Those of Bleeding Hearts
And Roses of all colors,
Lilacs and Lilies,
Leafy green Vincas and Ferns,
All speak to me of life,
That in the dark days of winter
Seemed lost, but was asleep.

NaPoWriMo Day 11–Prompt: significance of flowers, but I chose to write about the leaves instead as they are what are most prominent now, since many plants aren’t blooming but are leafing out.
Leaves falling, roses
Still clinging to summer’s warmth,
Utter grand encore
Haiku
Covered in roses
Their fragrance trailing her
June passed by
Bidding us fond farewell
Soon she’ll be a fond memory
Tanka
Roses are abloom
Among fast growing green grass
Baby birds in flight
Sunshine visits us daily
Summer finally arrived!
Tanka
(Celebrating the First Day of Summer!)
Raining roses
Droplets of color
Red, yellow,
Purple, pink
Cascading as confetti
Roundabout my feet
Shadorma
Searching for sunshine
A tiny bud pushes forth
Roses rise again
Haiku
#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 21–Off Prompt
I am glad to see my roses springing up and back to life after the hard winter we had. I lost a few plants to the cold weather but my roses all survived and are looking healthy and growing.
Roses and Daisies
Dancing with the warm breezes
Shades of blue sky
Haiku
Sun kisses red roses
Trees dance in the morning breeze
Shadows of night flee
Haiku
Summer’s Queen enters
At the midnight hour
Covered in Roses
Haiku
Purple, Red and White
Rose is a Rose, is a Rose
In my backyard
The City of Roses displays
Her colorful blooms for all
