Mirabilis jalapa
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

All the hot summer days I am found, sleeping late in my bed,
Dreaming of dusk and getting beauty rest, before sunset red;
For I'm an opal night owl, my scent blooms open all night long.
I am called Mirabilis jalapa, or four o'clocks, adoring birdsong.
I am yellow and deep pink stripes, beloved by hummingbirds,
And grape sun butterflies, when time seems to go backwards.
I keep a daily appointment with destiny, at about four o'clock,
As I love pearly moon more than sun, when dancing in my frock!

Wanderlust
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

I was awakening from my dreams, in search of an orangey sun,
As dreamers had always done, since warm vibrancy of day one.

I was emerging from fine silken coverings, in the usual way,
For wild places beckoned to me, as Saturday calls to Sunday.

After a colossal struggle, at last I had emerged victorious,
And leaving soft pupa behind, I was soon sunshine delirious!

I fluttered here and there, exploring all on red hued wings,

Colors Came Down
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Colors chase the sun into evening ~ its reflection in risen moon.


blooms glow sunset hues
gold time has stopped in magic
and pretty tree songs


Purple butterflies exude fragrance in their wake,
like dressed up ladies, off into shadows opaque.

A Day in the Dahlias
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

Orange sunshine, pink butterflies, in dawn buds of hope-
Last night's rain has caused noon blooms in the fields!
Canaries are flying low in a season of scents and scenery;
And the moments are creeping, in response to sultry heat.
A day among varicolored dahlias, at the premiere of life,
As bees are buzzing for honey, at summertime's midlife.
Tall trees cast shimmering shade, all the green afternoon,
Amid life's colorful, lovely, eclectic sights and sounds.
Until delight and fragrance greet dreamy evening eyes,
And deep burgundy sunshine leaves with the butterflies!

I Loved Her
by Samson Oloto

I loved her
Before I gazed upon her
Before I met her at the airport
Where I was dazed by her words of splendor
I loved her
Before I heard her rich, throaty laugh
Before her voice made me dream
Before the butterflies came
And the blushes were consistent
I loved her

Butterfly Craze
by Evelyn Judy Buehler

In the blooming epoch of days,
the unlikely swarms have now come
their colors vibrant in sun rays.
In the blooming epoch of days,
there are no rules when nature plays.
Where on earth are these lovelies from?
In the blooming epoch of days,
the unlikely swarms have now come!

Redbud Redolent

trees in the green breeze
in gold glazed heady sunshine
scent songs are searching

millions of blossoms
fluttering freshness like spring
wave goodbye to clouds

nice noon has gone still
sweet lifetime wears a big smile

April

A time of tulips
Pink cherry blossom thrills too
Refreshing rains roar
In age of red butterflies
Looking to deep golden hours
