Birds Eggs

Beginnings of life
bird's eggs of many colors
cracked and left behind

Annapolis Garden

Roses glow brighter
illuminating the night
as the sky darkens

Brick Sidewalk

Fired earth into brick
crumbling from centuries use
grass grows in the cracks

Peony

Three pink peonies
feathered petals gather love
My heart opens up

Wild Roses

Wild roses growing
in unexpected places
Sunlit survivors

Pink Roses

Patty's pink roses
strong one day, fragile the next
authentic beauty

Black and White

Black and white, good/bad,
Evil comes in many forms
Gray predominates

English Leicester

Curly wool ringlets
Gray mingled with straw and mud
One day a sweater

Lilacs

Scent of a lilac
Sweet essence of State House grounds
Concord, New Hampshire
