the last two blossoms on the mountain,
bump petals on a common stem.

gives pollen fluff a blow;
it does not yield.

“The Blossom” by William Blake [w/ Audio]
Merry, Merry Sparrow!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Sees you swift as arrow
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my Bosom.
Pretty, Pretty Robin!
Under leaves so green
A happy Blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, Pretty Robin,
Near my bosom.

Bee Mind [Haiku]
among Spring flowers,
bees swarm one yellow plant
that doesn't look special.

Sunflower Horde [Free Verse]
A horde of sunflowers
Grows on thin stalks
With big, bright heads
That tilt chin-upwards.
Could they stand so tall
And proudly if they weren't
Packed against each other?
When one bitch-slaps a sunflower,
One expects its head to fly
Clean off, but it just does
An angry little head bobble,
And goes about its business,
Looking skyward...
Though - occasionally - one breaks
Into a sad nod.

beside a creek that sparkles
with summer sunlight.
