Carpenter Bee On Fleabane Wildflower — Image by kenne
There’s a lot to notice
on the morning walks
in the spring. But what
strikes me in a special way
are all the flowers —
a reason to take my camera.

Two More Cactus Blossoms — Image by kenne
Arizona Spring
The honeysuckle nectar is gathered with a buzz
Cactus flowers perform their sweet encore, just because
Sandals tip toe in short skirts, so busy are the eyes
Spilling ink are poets, minding minds of the wise
Love is in the air breezing through limbs and leaves
Newlyweds sniffing with mouths under dancing trees
Spring has sprung and love is singing everywhere
While country clocks crawl and standing still is Time Square
