Clear mystic visions of delight
Reveal a sapphire flare.
Whilst flashes of electric blue,
Charge the mountain air.

"Crocus Corsicus"
- mounted 35cm square
Vibrant heralds of impending spring,
Small they may be but bold.
Their advent sets the birds to sing
And shake off winter cold.

"Poppies"
- mounted 50cm square
The odorous fume of poppies,
Drew me drowsily to the haugh.
A multitude of scarlet heads,
Awakened by the plough.

- mounted 50cm square
Silently unfurled,
In an instant - in a rush,
A bud so tightly curled
Reveals its secret blush.

A shining woodland carpet,
I glimpsed in early spring,
Of graceful Erythroniums,
Their lustrous petals zing.

From the ancient forests of China,
Fed by soft and gentle rain.
There is no blossom finer,
Like priceless porcelain.

Mirrored in tranquil pools.
Perfect blue snatched from the sky,
Where iridescence rules.

The cherry tree whose praise is sung,
Its smothered boughs with blossoms hung.
A few brief days it reigns supreme.
Take pleasure in this waking dream.

Fiery blooms, blaze o’er the swell
At the hot end of the border.
Scorched by summer’s searing spell.
Alight with flaming torches.

In southern lands of fame.

Like galaxies of sylvan stars.
Mere whisper of their name invites
Wondrous visions and delights.

The gentle nature of its flowers,
Could there be aught save fragrant rose
Such loveliness cruel strength empowers?
