Scarlet blooms
Amist the gloom
Of Winter’s sleep.
Syllabic Verse
My Camellia is a Winter Blooming variety called “Yuletide”. Right now in the midst of Winter it is covered in red blooms.

In the trees, a flash of scarlet

Scarlet Seeds
Bursting with flavor
Pomegranate afternoon
Ruby red jewels
Meet tastebuds after lunch
A sweet tart interaction

Hidden Beauty
You who were once dressed in green
Have changed to a new color
That was kept hidden all summer
By Captain Chlorophyll.
Scarlet beauty
In a moment
You will be
Out of
Time.

A Morning Treasure
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!
