Blessings In The Garden

         Sun’s Kiss

A sunbeam came streaming   

Lilac Ladies by BMJ

   Through the clouds.
           She dances
        Touching petunias and
             Kissing pretty roses,

         Coaching stems to reach and rise  

             And blossom toward the skies -

                All this to the pleasure

                  Of a gardener’s eyes.

                                                    

      Gribble - Grubble

      Gribbly, grubbly
                    Grainy sand.
                    A loam of earthy,
                                Deep, dark soil.
                                  It’s nature’s
                                           Nursing,
                                                         Nesting hand
                                                             Let's grow something!
                                                                                                                      

Sunday Morning Garden Shower

                    Listen;
            It’s water falling from the sky,
               Reaching for the rivers as they
                    Run down,
                        Again and
                             Again
                    Drip, drop, droplets:
                                  Rain.

                         

Leaflets from Above

Lumps of lemon yellow,
Bushels of bronze and browns,
 Tans and reds and orange, too
And a leafy handful of gold.
Leaflets leave
Their now bare trees
And again
      The Autumn story’s told.

                                          

Last of the Fallen Leaves

Four leaf,

Three leaf,
Two leaf,
One.
Last one down
Gets to bask on top in the
Soft, gold
  Autumn sun.
