Petal Shoes

Crocus are shy, in this state of dual personality
Yet, even so, quiet steps are thoughtful of their piety
Leaving Iris, watchful and carefree, pad the turns in their ease
Almost Tulips, nodding off now and again amid the breeze
Resting Laurels, on my knees

Home hums, an almost inaudible sound
Daffodil bow heads at will, another seasons sighs abound
Taking stock of water wells, goblet circles surface dwells
Wish a dish, fin tail spin tells
Perhaps time naps in spring

How far we’ve come, bloom to newest bloom
Sunset cools new leaves in sleeves with growing room
Earmarked, the earth will soon relent to rose’s lacy scent
Line dried, the tears I’ve tried to hide, remember rain
But just a smirking sun is all that would subside before again
Familiar, would my eyes caress your laughter in the dew
Whatever blooms because of you
My steps in softest shoe,
Claim rendezvous

Kathleen, this is just beautiful. We had a freeze here a couple of days ago. And, the freeze killed my flowers. Well, the tulips haven't died, yet.

I am stunned by the beauty of this, as am I when I read all your poetry.

But, I think you know this.

"Perhaps time naps in spring"

My thoughts exactly!
Your descriptive talents excel in this piece, with perfect flower 'personalities and behaviors' imagery.
