Poems to remember from 2011 - day 6, flowers and blossoms

"The violets in the mountains have broken the rocks." ~Tennessee Williams

So shall we go picking the blossoms and flowers today? (Though I must admit to a personal preference for the wildflowers!)

every spring
a little more alone
wild violets

old sage's desk...
just enough space
for violets

L.Costa




the old hurts
resurfacing -
bluebell sky


Sandra Simpson





night blooming jasmine
some prefer whiskey
to chamomile tea

Marian Olson





pear blossoms...
which one of these houses
was yours?

Laura Garrison




plum tree
only
when it blooms

Alegria Imperial





mellowing...
the slam dunk of blossoms
through the rusted hoop

Claire Everett





another biopsy -
plucking at the flowers
of my hospital gown

Cara Holman




snowdrops
or butterflies
every place
every season
is perfect

Christina Nguyen

North star obscured...
wild honeysuckle somewhere
in the dark
