bougainvillea &
 gold trumpet grow together: 
  one tree, two personas.

a pair of blossoms -
 all that's left on the tree:
 two blooms - side-by-side.

yellow petals drop:
 on the lake: washed together;
  on the ground: spread out.

fallen blossoms
 carpet the ground,
  mottled by sunlight.

twisted petals
 of frangipani blossoms
  stay one when dropping.

red blossoms
 in the understory,
  briefly catch the sun.

flower-laden tree:
 when next we meet
  will be bare.

morning frost melts
with early rays of sunlight.
primrose buds slacken.

blossoms tumble,
in vibrant colors,
down the sidewalk
