		<description><![CDATA[
a fern that flowers
is not a fern
even if it looks like one
and has never flowered.
the delicate looking leaves
are not leaves;
they are branches.
the spiky thorns
are leaves.
if it ever did flower
then blue berries
might bring a mocking bird.

Scientists say
was a time
when continents still clung
together;
before dinosaurs
people, pets
there were gardens.
 
Azalea families
were separated
by violent events
traveled the globe
put down roots
never forgot
didn&#8217;t change much.

		<description><![CDATA[
when a bee goes by
it is good to see
knowing it knows
its way to work
hum of the hummingbird
babble of busy birds
heard while bending
to tend the garden&#8217;s needs.
sowing seeds, pulling weeds
saving the ladybug
from the fire
transporting her home.

Epiphilium is rare
as it sounds
not your average
front yard flower.
Green dreadlocks
have their own mind
creating a field
for rare beauty.

		<description><![CDATA[there are those
who seek the bright light
and attention
thrive on the thrill
of being seen
and suck up all
the energy comes their way.
others shy away
from the intensity of scrutiny
don&#8217;t want can&#8217;t use
all that attention
and would shrivel up
and die under the spotlight
preferring quiet beauty.

		<description><![CDATA[she announced herself
in the early morning
as if in a dream
but wasn&#8217;t satisfied
with that.
she wanted
to be recognized
and appreciated
for who she was
not a peacock
and not a songbird
either, calling
for her mate
with a quarrelsome
unmistakable voice
playing hide and
seek between the garden
and the rooftops.

Sometimes a real beauty
doesn&#8217;t want and can&#8217;t stand
all the attention
the ooing and aahing
and silly questions
not worth answering
preferring the quiet
inaccessible places 
where appreciation
is limited to those
who seek out beauty
for its own sake.

The light of the Sun
can be Seen even
on a cold cloudy day.
Its rays shine from
each petal of each flower
reaching upward
to drink warmth
and wisdom and
display their charms.

		<description><![CDATA[After several days of sun
I remembered to water the garden.
While I was standing there
with the hose in my hands
I looked at all the weeds
watered by the rainy days past.
But I remember Summer
when winter remnants
were cleared and seeds planted
and plenty was the theme every day.

You can tell beauty where to go
encourage beauty to enter
make a reservation
but even while you make plans
cover the cold land with a blanket
look for beauty in the spring
she decides where to go
where to show her true desire
and when as if divined from heaven.

What kind of a color
is blue for a berry?
Maybe they&#8217;re blue
because it&#8217;s cold.
Or maybe they&#8217;re blue
because they know
that even though they
take their sweet time
from flower to fruit
they won&#8217;t last long
cuz a blue blueberry
tastes so good to so many
people and creatures of
the skies and backyards.

Fuchsia might be
the way to say
purple but not
all fuchsia are
purple and red.
Pink fuchsia have
reputations
for being a
little lacking
in brightness but
what they lack in
intensity
they make up for
with subtlety
delicately
ringing bells heard
only by you.
