From ashes of roses

He made her hair

and bequeathed her mistle toes

From angels came her harmoknees

from yes's He made her sweet nose.



Her smile was a rainbow's baby

which had caught and dimpled her cheeks

Portals to infinity

are her firefl-eyes.



Plum hued is one cheek

the other tinted pumpkin

How appropriate you see

for Daddy's little plumpkin.



When God Om'd her birth

from  umber sunrise

with emeralds from His

embered fires

He made ambrosia

of this amber rose.





BEETLE BITTEN BEE BIBBED BLOOMS



The beetle bitten blooms

are now beautiful of lace

The bees have bibbed

all the nectar

and the emptied bloom chalice

will now hold new dew.



FOUR FLOWERS



The Sun Arose

in Morning Glory

with His Goldenrod

Wanding Violet

to Rose



(to C and R Davis

of Maryland)



BY LOVE'S POWER



He was a great healer

He had taken on so

  many of others' burdens

that



His pain was intense

.. His body sick

His mind agony

   great



People's hearts wanted

to grow wings with

which to blanket

him.. and him to shield



as their great love

touched his own

by his love's return power

was he healed



BUTTERNUT AND BUTTERCUP



Held the dew

the concave buttercup

better than

the convex butternut



as listening ears

have healing

in their cups



with what

chalice'd joy

does the buttercup

hold

the liquid sunup





(to J Miller, to L Yost and to others)



DAFFODIL CHALICE





Father winter

.. he did fill

the hopeful cup of

wee daffodil

with the cold

sorbet

of chill

the icing of

snowspill.



But it melted

quickly..

and soon to

the touch of

the sun

the daffodil

did thrill.





**

Al Couch, a Biblical scholar and farmer, took Genesis literally..

that there were no brutal weather patterns on earth when it was

covered with trees.. it is humankind, not God, he thought, who have

created the violence of freezing.





DO FLOWERS CHASE BEES?



Do flowers chase bees?

Does Mother Earth bite?

Do rivers run backwards?

Do

butterflies get speeding tickets?  It is to the meditater at the

tree's base and not to the hunter that the gentle deer come.

MAXWELL PERIWINKLE BLUE



Stars

above & their twinkles

are mirrored by

ground periwinkle

.. they do not sparkle

as much as J's smile

breaking through

her cheek crinkles









to JMB  



TANGIBLE



The sun's ethereal

touch

made tangible

in the tangerine



DANDELION BLOOD



Dandelions' blood

is green..

Dandy lions' blood

is red

Because they hurt

They have bled

this.
