Purple Penstemon - May 5, 2011

Purple Penstemon – May 5, 2011

 

After a week of celebrating,
song and poetry
sound the same.

 

 

IN BLOOM

Bird's Eye Gilla - April 11, 2011

Bird’s Eye Gilla – April 11, 2011

 

Sometimes mindless creatures
of habit in bloom,
never sure who’s got whom.

 

 

BLOW WIVES

Blow Wives - April 6, 2013

Blow Wives – April 6, 2013

 

Spreading seed on wider wings,
Dandelion
by any other name.

 

 

IN THE CROWD

Johnny Tuck - March 31, 2013

Johnny Tuck – March 31, 2013

 

I can show up anywhere
yet never certain who
I want to be.

 

 

INNER SPACE

Purple Milkweed – May 2, 2011

 

Alien spaceships,
purple people eaters
or just milkweed in bloom.

 

 

USELESS ACCOUTERMENTS

Fiddleneck - April 5, 2011

Fiddleneck – April 5, 2011

 

I’d make music
if I could only trumpet
from my fiddle neck.

 

 

SPRING 2011

Phacelia (Scorpionweed) and Lichen - May 15, 2011

Phacelia (Scorpionweed) and Lichen – May 15, 2011

 

Competing everywhere you look
grace and color
growing together.

 

 

PURPLE CHINESE HOUSES

Purple Chinese Flowers - April 5, 2011

Purple Chinese Flowers – April 5, 2011

 

Cleaning houses
in the high-rent district
has certain advantages.

 

 

NASA

Wild Cumcumber, Sierra Man-root - March 10, 2013

Wild Cumcumber, Sierra Man-root – March 10, 2013

 

No need to go to outer space
to touch the stars
sparkling at our feet.

 

 

CHASING SUNLIGHT

Twining Brodeaia - May 1, 2011

Twining Brodeaia – May 1, 2011

 

Late to the party
in the thick of spring—
just chasing space and sunlight.
