Deer Visitors

A quiet corner

Peaceable companions

Tree shadowed snow lace

Garden Party

a waterfall flows

music for the floral ball

Scented breezes drift

Creek

sculptor unceasing

mists the air in its effort

even as ice, molds

Again

ancient statue

leaves brushing gently again

five hundred seasons

Clematis

alchemy of seeds

map of the joined nucleics

will pre-chill 'til birth

Anyway

starless clouded night

a darkness unrelenting

firefly beacons rise

©️Sylphide poem 2021

Newflower

in a greening lawn

there are new colors today

violets appear

Lenten Rose

mauve lenten rose blooms

catalysing a new spring

last snows unheeded

Summer's Taste

last of the fresh herbs

summer flavor before frost

tasting of the now

Tones

soft topography

sunlight falls among petals

provoking full bloom

Winter Garden (1)

season changing snow

prized plants gathered for winter

unfrozen garden

Cypress

cypress fronds waving

clean fragrance strong as day warms

enduring verdance

©️Sylphide poem/image 2020

Cucuzza

two blossoms diverge

fading upon the same stem

having started fruit

Baldeh

cottonwood apex

gimlet eyes tuned to movement

on prairie below

echeveria

echeveria

sends a column of flowers

mixing up the chicks

Prairie Spring

.                        

                            kiss of the sun blooms

                            to the joy of moths and bees

                            a special few days
