April 28, 2012

Gluing sparkles, all

glitter, feathers, and ribbon.

A new place I go.

April 27, 2012

Pushing myself in

new directions, challenges.

Scares my soul to soar.

April 27, 2012

Deer nibbling back the

Erythronium flowers.

I can’t view the blooms.

April 26, 2012

Called white fawn lily,

 Erythronium, glowing

with incandescence.

April 25, 2012

An overwhelming

urge to flee overcomes me.

Still, the taxes sit.

April 24, 2012

Thoughts swirl in my head

like a hurricane, chaos.

Still I meditate.

April 23, 2012

Looking out my small

windows I can see the sun.

But in here it’s dark.

April 22, 2012

Delicate forget-

me-nots, bloom from the soil, a

light blue reminder.

April 21, 2012

Sun through the roof of

the car, stifling air, clouds come.

When will rain return?

April 20, 2012

Slabs of slate glisten

around the water garden.

A sparrow hops by.

April 19, 2012

Sparrow rustles the

leaves of a small bush, busy.

Then he follows me.

April 18, 2012

Normally the late

light would be welcome, not now.

For I wish to dream.

April 17, 2012

Daphne Odora,

with sweet, citrus scent wafting.

Brightening my day.

April 16, 2012

Insurance is such

a dumb joke, but not funny.

Make me whole again!

April 15, 2012

Venus fly trap gapes,

awaiting the unwary.

Nature’s pest control.

April 14, 2012

Baby strawberry

plants waiting for a soil home.

Hopes for sweet summer.

April 13, 2012

Why does sleep evade
me, keeping just from my reach?
Oh darkness take me.

April 12, 2012

Bleeding hearts cascade

to the ground, dew laden, pink.

Evidence of spring.

April 11, 2012

Cat meows at door,

I open it, but rain falls.

He turns in disgust.

April 10, 2012

Cat cleans himself, not

noticing that I’m watching.

But really, he knows.

April 9, 2012

Cat completes a warm

sandwich of my husband and

me, his sleeping spell.

April 8, 2012

Battling with branches,

old and wizened, twisting to

the sky, spring pruning.

April 7, 2012

Potting pansies for

a small burst of spring splendour.

A breath of fresh air.

April 6, 2012

Struggling little

jade plant, now has a small friend.

Hope it will survive.

April 5, 2012

Christian Dior

vintage pill box hat, lovely.

My fabulous find.

April 4, 2012

Oh how I’ve longed for

your creamy sweetness, reprieve

from my ice cream drought.

April 3, 2012

Thoughts swirl, avoidance,

worry, ruminate, suffer.

I’m meditating.

April 2, 2012

Hidden, surprising

flower displays, are the joy,

secret in my life.

April 1, 2012

Regal Norfolk Pine,

root bound, ready for a move.

Now in a red pot.
