Japanese lantern,

rescued from autumn’s damp chill-

sign of spent summer.

August 19, 2018

Boatful of sunshine,

golden beauty- heavy heads

nod with summer sleep.

April 9, 2018

Spring blooms beckon us
towards summer’s heat- before
we drift off to fall.

April 1, 2018

Quince branches gathered
on a sunny afternoon-
spring’s sweet splendor swiped.

March 10, 2018

Camellia blooms
burst forth amid waxen leaves-
they trumpet in spring.

March 9, 2018

Chrysanthemums sail
away from winter-soaked lands-
it’s summer somewhere.

February 24, 2018

Must content myself
with flowers from you- can’t pick
bouquets outside yet.

December 20, 2017

Beautiful on the
outside, but fills me with dread-
must be Christmastime.

November 4, 2017

Sailing through autumn,
colour fading around us-
winter’s dull grey waits.

October 21, 2017

Pick a few sprigs of
what’s left in the yard- bring fall’s
sparse beauty inside.

October 15, 2017

Sail into winter,
leave warm summer glow behind-
moor and wait for spring.

October 12, 2017

Garden's almost bare,
arrangements look like Christmas-
it won't be long now.

October 9, 2017

Centrepiece doesn't
make Thanksgiving dinner- it's
perfect company.

September 27, 2017

Sunny afternoon,
fall's spare beauty inspires me-
can't capture nature.

February 12, 2017

Carry me away
from grey days of cold to spring-
taken with tulips.

January 16, 2017

Boatful of spring bulbs,
carry me from winter- I
need a new season.

November 29, 2016

Few flowers left to
pick, but late autumn has its
charm- blue spruce bouquet.
