Plum Delight
The plum tree snowed
light, fragrant, white blooms
at the foot of my garden
and hung softly on
full covered branches.
I joined winged creatures flocking,
intoxicated with my nose
in sweet, plum rose delight,
and I breathed.
I gazed at you in the morning,
and watched you glowing
through the night,
dressed in lace and glory.
You rained on my porch,
as I walked a petal-strewn path
through the season of your time.

Wild Plums on a Tree
Fruit laden balls
of Christmas in August,
decorate spiked branches
beginning fall festivities
with green-leafed, red delights.
Aged brothers
stand in her joyous beauty,
gaining their fill
of tart, succulent fruit,
spewing pits
and good-natured laughs,
spreading the bountiful earth
with wild plum trees
as plum butter
on a piece of winter toast.
