DANDELION DIASPORA
The rain, weed-wed,
has
multiplied
these
gray haired flakeheads
and now
dandelion seeds float in the air..
by the Bubble Blower sent aloft..
which ones will mystically touchdown..
to root in our hearts?
Not in chaotic shards
do dandelion seeds
burst from their ball.
Each part as perfect
as the whole.
Each each contains
the all.
BEETLE BITTEN BEE BIBBED BLOOMS
The beetle bitten blooms
are now beautiful of lace
The bees have bibbed
all the nectar
and the emptied bloom chalice
will now hold new dew.
BUTTERCUP
as listening ears
have healing
in their cups
with what
chalice'd joy
does the buttercup
hold
the liquid sunup
(to J Miller, to L Yost and to others)
LILIES
Lily's body's ashes will someday beneath lilies lie
while her soul to bereaved sings lullabies
AFROASIAN BEE
Gold and black striped was
an Afroasian bee named Izzy
he kept so very very busy
that his homing sense was dizzy
and his thoughts were in a tizzy
He was asked by empathic
blooms
to breathe deeply of the
field's perfume
.. he did so and relaxed
and found his way home did Izzy
This is what poetry is all about, my friend! Playing with words and refining meanings ... I love it! Myra
