Brief encounter

Iris slips into royal colors
Her petals a fleur-de-lis
For a brief encounter
She makes her entrance
And then gently drops away

Flowers ready for Spring

Bulbs beneath the ground
are breaking through Winter’s earth.
They rise quietly, cloisters of yellow flowers.
The crocus returns again to guide Spring.

Outside the window

Sometimes I think I belong in another century when I write poetry…

Spring’s molting season

Have you noticed that Mother Nature is often blamed for the trials and tribulations endured by everyday folks? But can you really blame those who are disgruntled…droughts, floods, blizzards, and humidity. It all adds up to a lousy drive home, a bad hair day, or even a back-breaking afternoon with a snow shovel.
But today, this blogger is going to turn the talk about our Mistress of the Seasons and offer good tidings; for it is springtime and everything is coming up “roses” (and other flowers!)

So, in honor of Spring and all its grandeur, here is a poem; take time out of your busy day and enjoy!
