When Tiger Lilies Grew Wild

Folder: 
Life As I Know It

I.
breaking the surface
brave spears of beauty
frost glimmering

II.
rain puddling now
slender quivering limbs
bent with heavy buds

III.
petals are flaming
unexpected roadside show
competing with dusk

IV.
buried in leaves
overwhelmed by it all
retreating till spring

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I love Tiger Lilies.  I also love the poetry of Deborah Russell.  I am thankful for her inspiration and guidance.  She was a great woman and gave me a lot of advice when I came here in 2000.
