Appreciation

Flowers greet the rain
face up appreciation –
nourishment’s glow.

Night, Night

Donning Winter’s coat
Summer’s sparkle retreated –
Garden is abed.

How bright the colour
sunlight creating shadow –
dramatic ending.

Green sprig, crimson pop –
ornamental precursor
to giving season.

Winter’s impatience
crowns Autumn’s bearings with white –
early Santa’s cap.

Where leaves have vanished
berries remain, nourishment
for feathered migrants.

Other blooms may fade,
succumbing to Autumn’s chill –
Snapdragons stand tall.

My essence is flame
words, like petals, reaching high –
transformative fire.

Summer’s legacy
fades – floral memories blur
Fall hues incoming.

Potted pleasures hail
Autumn’s arrival – gracious
welcoming party.
