Grandma Blues

Stepping back from this painting

I saw

the same blues

that were in my grandma's 

back bedroom

filled with random 

beautiful junk

that I'd almost 

forgotten

Thank you painting for reminding me.

Art is like that.

Field of Flowers

If  I could have 

a field of flowers

​

My heart 

could dance

and grow there 

​

and everything gathered

would be sweet

​

even in the rain.

The Garden Show

​

Hello Dahlia

​

Why have I not 

been introduced yet? 

​

My time has been spent 

with small players,

zinnias, hollyhocks, daisies

​

but

​

Dahlia

​

I suspect

you are 

the real star.

The Small Things
 
The gold vase

sat 

on the shelf

beautiful

shining

​

it has become part 

of my story

I don't even know why

only

I liked

its glow.

Old Friends

Will you come to lunch?

​

The flowers are blooming

​

and I long

for 

old fashioned 

conversation.
