snow, ice, sunshine, warmth
orange green red harvest decor
fall and winter friends
two seasons clash in
popularity battle!
yet time marches on
die, rest, rebirth, grow-
to repeat again, cycles
chase each other home

wanted: frog to kiss
why are you hiding from me?
lips coming your way
not interested?
maybe I don’t need a prince
just a froggy friend

bees and bumbles buzz
searching, sipping, slurping feast

true flowers wait; gotta get
work to do, to do

This is our third successful (meaning: no earwig damage) allium crop! Maybe next year should be a season of rest for the garden beds when I grow just alliums and let the exploding earwig population die off a bit. The idea does bear tasty consideration…
seeking light, water
face to the sun, wearing your
tiny fairy hat
buds tight with promise
urgency to bloom and seed
hello leek princess
