Jacaranda [Haiku]

Jacarandas bloom:
thousands of miles from home,
but no less purple.

Bee Mind [Haiku]

among Spring flowers,
bees swarm one yellow plant
that doesn't look special.

“Come slowly — Eden!” (205) by Emily Dickinson [w/ Audio]

Come slowly -- Eden!
Lips unused to Thee --
Bashful -- sip thy Jessamines --
As the fainting Bee --

Reaching late his flower,
Round her chamber hums --
Counts his nectars --
Enters -- and is lost in Balms.

Blossom Drop [Haiku]

blossom drops,
fluttering slantwise
into still water.

Golden Hour [Haiku]

sunup hour:
yellow blossoms turn gold;
one flutters to earth.

Cold Lilies [Haiku]

water lilies
on a cold, gray day:
half-open, unkempt.

Tough Pink Blooms [Haiku]

flower cluster hangs
through a cold December --
the last leaf lone gone.

Flower Mind [Free Verse]

Morning Glories
don’t feel slighted
because they bloomed
in the shadow of
Mexican Sunflowers…

Though the humans
who otherwise might
stop to admire them
can now not be
bothered to notice them.

Pansy Patch [Haiku]

pansy patch:
rabbit noses out,
sniffing air.

Fearful Flowers? [Senryū]

stunted flowers:
in fear of mower
decapitation?
