Wind
Sun fuels plants and wind. /
Wind pushes the peony. /
Still, the flower blooms.

Purple cornflower
Bachelor’s Button /
growing by the road, waving /
at passing ladies.

Blueberry
Maybe tomorrow /
I will catch the sun and hold, /
turning green to blue.

Love-in-the-mist
Slender to the eye, /
iridescent in the light, /
lives love-in-the-mist.

Heart
I know not this path, /
the one of the heart, only /
the flowers you left.

Mother
Your garden whispers /
your name, unfolds your beauty /
in each bright petal.

Yearning
Earth’s Moon hanging high /
bright light in the cold night sky /
we, in yearning, try.

Tall tale
The gravedigger says, /
As his needling wife’s unearthed, /
“It’s all a big yarn.”

Spiderwort
Small, purple petals, /
the Ohio Spiderwort /
weaves through your garden.

I don’t know who is showing the most hip, but I can guess who is being the most cheeky in this photo.
Is this a drunken, African version of the Running of the Bulls? The Hightailing Away from the Hippopotamus? Or would that be Hippopotami?
Oh my
the hippopotami
have come to try
and drive me away.
I undressed
to my birthday best
to take my rest
on a hot day.
I did not know
it was no place to go
that I could not show
my full display.
I have caused unrest
put nature to the test
because I undressed
and tried to stay.
One big old brute
did not like my birthday suit
so I gave him the salute
and he huffed my way.
With no pants
I had little chance
to make a stance
or have my say.
I now must leave
but please don’t grieve
and don’t yet believe
I am human filet.
