The Garden and its Environs

June is splendiferous
more so than ever

a gift from a flower to a garden

a sunny day reflection song

Hydrangea

color nova

A water bubbler

for birds and butterflies

Traffic is heavy

I see many every visit

I cut a lime

and made it an offering

Color sensitivity

we share it with

select fauna

Step inside

with me

and the bee

Zen rock

Ephemeral and fleeting

cactus flowers

Turtles have sex

on their ganglia

I'm with you in the cloud

Poppies

pop

do they not?

Fill the symbolic region

of your mind with

landscapes skies

animals and plants

Deepening rewards

 

Pull in here a second

Let them glide past

Join me in a color bath

An observed life

An examined environment

 

 This grand old tree

used to be

Now a place in the heart

Evocative

remnants

 

A gone world

Some are born

to sweet delight

 Normally

I'm a bit reckless

Unguarded I collide

with megafauna

Walked out onto

 this twisted oak

risking my neck,

a little boy ran up

and I ceded him

the sinuous tree

That dog was

too much for my mirror

Look who's here

Sail around the world

in a dirty gondola

Oh to be back in the land

 of coca cola
