Morning Hummingbird Visit

Red silk kimono
Attracts the morning humming
Bird to my shoulder
Perhaps, it wasn’t
The flowers or bright colors,
But the sweet center
Sowed
The seeds are ready to grow
Protect them from being disposed
Bring out the watering hose
Nurture them daily once sown
As the beauty slowly unfolds
It’s a magnificent sight to bestow
Spring
Shedding winters coat
Sowing seeds on bare shoulders
Anticipating
Abundant seasonal growth
With organic antidotes
~
Awaiting color
To crop under warming sun
With splashes of hope
Time sprung in forward thinking
Full of possibilities
Fool Proof Garden š
* 2016 holiday bouquet
Overnight Morning Glory seeds sprout with life
Pretty Daylilies* bloom in an array of colors yearly
Despite what you may think purple Pansy’s aren’t weak
Sunny Marigolds offer a safe bet for your money
Annual Impatiens grow quickly and require no manuals
Hearty Sunflowers stoop over to weep at the loss of heat
Perennials are sustainablyĀ preferred over Biennials
– Inspired by flower power among other things, and I’m super excited about volunteering to work on a Rose Parade float tomorrow.
Holiday Propaganda
Have you ever stopped to ask why
It is that you buy into all the lies
Sold in countless advertisements
That infiltrate our daily way of life
Influencing more than what we buy
To purchase our holiday excitement
All for a great cause with a cost
Gift wrapped in our traditions lost
Manufactured retailed happiness
Artificially bought into the thought
That giving matters as we’re taught
So we greet the season’s nastiness
Where shall we begin, let’s pretend
Spending our time together ends
The purchase of lasting memories
Discounted for family and friends
Gathering with the love to defend
Blessings less financial jeopardy
His Bountiful Supply
I’m thankful to be alive
To have you in my life
Every day and night
You are at my side
Willing me to survive
To never give up and try
