Evening primrose
Spring pink blooms unfurl gently
Beauty beckoning
NaPoWriMo 2014 Day 24
A sentinel bush marking ten years
Planted as a promise of better days to come
Each year the promise kept
Of briars and thistles swept
Walking paths through the trees now beckon
Colts and canines greet at the fence
Prancing in rehearsed unison
Rose scent wafts in a swirl
Allowing us respite under the shadows
Shielded by Susan’s rose
NaPoWriMo day 22
Old world roses bloom but once a year
Such timing makes us hold them all the more dear
The petal clusters are small and tight
Mother Nature assures us she got it right
I planted two: yellow and white
Lady Banks, Lady Banks beautiful in any light
NaPoWriMo Day 20
Residing in a ceramic pot
Glimpsing life through paned windows
Sleeping behind closed curtains
The orchid blooms out of place, defiantly
NaPoWriMo Day 16
The view from my window
Depends on me to see it
I can drive by, day after day
Looking straight ahead
But
Ahead is not the only line of sight
I can always find something
To the left and to the right
And the trail left behind, as well
Taking the time to notice
Fellow travelers, the changing seasons
Helps me along my way
NaPoWriMo Day 11
