A breeze whispers
through the peony roses
expelling scents of Mum.

Spring
Oriental lily
stains the wings
of a white butterfly,
golden.
Blossoms
From thrawn bough,
pink petals sigh
as glassy reams
pass
in lilting lullaby
carrying fallen blooms
in a trail of confetti
meandering
into
the gloaming mouth
of the firth.
Amber
Above the city
light pollution leaks amber
into the pearl moon.
Star
At dusk
the dim flicker
of a dying star.
Filigrees
Petal filigrees
press stencil patterns on snow
echoing full bloom.
Butterfly
As I burn your soul
onto paper, a butterfly
lands on my pen.
