World of Flowers

Cecile practices flute.

Keys, gently pressed –

Pink snapdragons

Sprout.

Sonata breathes

Fire

Violin’s bow piques

Zinnias

Growth blankets orchestral

Floor.

And roses, Sterling

Beauty.

Joy in housework.

Bouncing washing machine

Yields

Tulips, yellow.

Hyacinth, blue.

Wardrobe dusted-

Who knew that polish multiplies

Dandelions?

For wine.

And greens, sauteed.

Tiny white blossoms of Irish

Moss

When cursive words,

Written?

Fountain pen scratches.

Miniature poppies?

No, lichen.

Desk drawers opened.

Ranunculus revealed.

Red velvet Rachmaninoff.

Orchestra paints daisies in

Watercolor,

Wisteria, oil on

Canvas.

Clouds release mist,

And moonflower,

Soft.

Vintage maps, unfolded

No cities.

Only geraniums,

Red and white

Follow roads and rivers made of

Pine cones, phlox, lavender.

Seas of lilies, lotus, and lace.

GPS says, destination reached –

One millionth fir on your

Left.

Never get lost –
