Clematis

A Fibonacci spiral of seed heads
A stalled hurricane of potential
Waiting for a breezy boost to soil beds
Patience and timing are essential
For creating purple flowers widespread

Sicyos angulatus

The bur cucumber
Winds its way
Across fence lumber
Tendrils stray
*
An annual vine
On display
Hairy stems that twine
Prevent sway
*
Flowers licked by bees
On pathway
Spiny fruits don’t please
Deer today.

Clematis
_____________________________________
One day the vine’s all green leaves and promise
Next day a solo flower opens wide
This year’s display I sure don’t want to miss
Each time I think to I observe wide-eyed
In a blink becomes stunningly adorned
Palm-sized flowers cover plant in masses
Those fuzzy green buds will never be mourned
If you can’t see beauty you need glasses
Counts among botanical badasses
