Skylight Garden
I've been working on my skylight garden: succulents in mugs on the left, herbs (🎶 "Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme..."🎵) in the middle and flowers on the right (violas and bellflowers). I will take the rosemary and thyme out of the cups when their roots develop. I have about 1,000 baby violas in the planter out front from seeds that dropped from my spring plants; so I dug a few up that would have been crowded out by the geranium anyway and planted them in a pot. 🌱😁

Maiden, mother, crone
roses reflect the seasons
of this fruitful life.

shocked by a sudden flash
without even a trenchcoat
all nature exposed

from the maple's heart.
provides a sparkling setting
for any event.

Crossing the river
recalls childhood leaf races
at the old footbridge.

Arctic seagulls, now
vacationing in Pittsburgh,
come to the suburbs
where a kind Polish lady
scatters bread to feed the birds.

folding fresh laundry more a
pleasure than a chore
