after the funeral

the scent of lilies

without a sound

a water-lily opened

on the old pond

trailing back and forth

across the lilies -

how quiet

the north side of our house

lilies of the valley

nodding to each other -

lillies

and a hummingbird

suspended

BarbBC

bouquet of lilies--

from the perfectly arranged garden

clutched in a small fist

christy

under a summer moon,

lily buds lighten

the doorstep

yellow lilies

the sound from a trumpet

across the street

odd

late for church -

the scent of Easter lilies

fills the pews

hilary tann

beneath the lily pad

the moonlight catches

a flash of gold

Lesley

a drained pond...

ducklings hide

in the lilies

Hugh Waterhouse

tiger lilies

grew around our old back porch

homesick

high humidity--

my father holds a lily

in his withered hand

timothy timothy timothy

calla lily ...

a droplet of rain slides

down its funnel

the canal

packed full of water lilies

a beer can weaves

the lily bows

as I enter the room

a gentle breeze

the cat stalks a robin

in the backyard

the swan glides past

to reach its nest

of her passing -

plastic lilies
