Garden Verses

Bird's Nest Fern, and Lotus

Dr Abe V Rotor

Bird's Nest Fern

Clothe your host with gown,

Huddle her in comfort and love

With a rosette of frond her crown

To catch the cloud above.

Lotus  

I greeted you one morning, 

As I saw your face smiling,

Let me kiss your fragrance, 

That I can go into a trance

Of contented forgetfulness 

  From ephemeral greatness. ~

The Beginning of Autumn

Onset of Autumn in acrylic by A V Rotor 

 The leaves are still green but autumn is here,

litter on the forest floor turns red and yellow,

and cracks and tickles under my feet bare.

Oh, how seasons change pure and mellow!
