HAIKU
The soft white blanket
spread beneath my dogwood tree
cascading petals

FALLING FRAGRANCE
Released,
petals flutter
from the peach tree blossoms,
forming a fragrant pink blanket
below.

SUMMER SCENT
The bushes in my big backyard
Are now in scented bloom
Emitting fragrance all day long . . .
My garden’s sweet perfume
Butterflies are lured by scent
So dine upon them all
And they will be there every day
Until the petals fall
