Hibiscus [Haiku]

show their bright colors
on a winter day.

The Thistle’s Moment [Haiku]

in late summer,
thistles flower brightly --
then fluff & cede to wind.

Poppy Trigger [Lyric Poem]

Two hikers on a mountain trail
pass a solitary Poppy.
One remembers a lost loved one;
one, feeling high and floppy.

Mexican Sunflower [Haiku]

the sunflower
catches warm afternoon sun,
but bees aren’t impressed.

Bowed Flower [Haiku]

weary sunflowers
turn their backs on the sun:
heads bowed.

Thistle Distance [Haiku]

the thistle blooms:
 beautiful for a time, but 
  best known from afar. 

Bee’s Weight [Haiku]

flowers dip
under a bee’s weight,
but spring back.

in the background, blurs:
