A Garden Prayer

the abbess kneels
at the garden edge
weeds disappear 
piled and carted away

she finds a fallen feather
old black crow
stands it up 
beside pink snap dragons


From Summer 2025 - Notebook Poem

Wild Flowers

shed side trout lilies bloom
a lawn sea of violets
up to the forest edge
just off the path 
a rare red trillium hides
on the sunny hill 
a patch of crocuses 
under crab apples blossoms
forget me nots flourish 
by the rusty gate
