swinging in his blooming tree
whistling wind and song

these desolate moors

swinging in his blooming tree
whistling wind and song
Mars in a Million Years

pink dawn on red mars
as far off sun glimmers gold
more probes are coming
someday red roses
when the greenery arrives
and with it fresh air
blue lakes and swimming
with the clouds, winds and the rain

Magnolia Days

delight of jade spring
pink perfumed mass profusion
sunbathing bronzed blooms
cardinal sings loud
from his perch next to blue sky
reverberations
floral flamboyance
drawing the world's attention

leaving vivid trails of fire
on scarlet roses
dragonflies emerge
going everywhere, silent

by Evelyn Judy Buehler
moving clouds, puffy
gold rose dawn fills waking skies
summer's honeyed days
as heat gains its peak
gilt clouds, noon butterscotch sky
lemon meringue pie
chocolate sunset
cocoa with soft marshmallows
