rainbow of tulips
bold, bright, never reticent
technicolor blooms
r. hero stands guard
outside a kids’ hospital
many heroes there
from place of challenge
finding a way to emerge
grow, thrive, and flourish
it’s all about scale —
mountain climbing for insect
small petal for us
succession of bloom
now it’s crabapples’ moment —
nature taking turns
describing a life
what impact will be recalled —
I hope it is this
delicate, pink hearts
bleeding but never broken
bowing toward the earth
Christmas cactus blooms —
don’t look at the calendar
it makes its own rules
familiar objects
in need of dusting
return to office
lush carpet of stars
too beautiful to step on
glowing at my feet
new growth and decay
synergy of opposites
two parts of a whole
dancing in the wind
each blossom in unison —
the corps de ballet
turtles sunbathing
goose sleeping while on one leg —
nature’s eye spy game
unlikely locale
inhospitable for growth
yet a violet thrives
observing the world
with the wonder of a child
beauty of all flowers
a fleeting moment
petals falling like snowflakes —
reminder to pause
my moment of zen
no cushion necessary
pause, breathe, swing, repeat
is it only me
or are we all more grateful
to see spring this year
the weeping cherry
does not appear to be sad —
just taking a bow
be bold and be brave
wear pink instead of purple
stand out in the crowd
