Summer Dance -2024

 Summer Dance -2014


Garden thrived 

without the gardener

like a forest

seeds that fell last year

burgeoned.....

As we tend

to our new grand baby

and life's timely demands

the passion found

its way through

the hotchilies & curry 

leaves' hardystems to shoot

purple blooms for the bumble bees

The long beans smile carefreeand purple 

to yield their slender pods 

entwined by the redness of hearts 

the leaves that purple yams proudly display

their ridged stems reach upwards

gracefully like the delicate hands 

of a twirling balerina 


The Roses of sharon applaude 
from their luxury booth under the shade
dressed in their layers of chiffons!

On The Porch

On The Porch

On the porch
a gazeboo
wind chimes
in the middle of nature
the leaves flutter
bird calls and chirps
add to the peace 
under the hot sun
dog at my feet
I reign....
