"Oh, look! How beautiful"
said Lucy as we both leaned over the garden fence
of a brownstone on First Place
to admire the forsythia

and the carpet of little bright blue flowers
below.

Did you notice, dear Reader?
The magnolia is on the verge of blooming.
Its buds opened up just a teeny bit,
waiting just for the next sunny day
to unfurl into beautiful flowers.

The sweetest primrose
greeted me in my garden
this morning,
pocking its head
Through the brown leaves
left over from fall

The Late Bloomer


The plants in my garden
Have gone dormant for the winter

Except for one:
A chrysanthemum

With small daisy like flowers.

It is blooming abundantly
amidst the falling leaves.
