“Simplicity is the
final achievement.
After one has played
a vast quantity of notes
and more notes,
it is simplicity
that emerges as
the crowning reward of art.”
~ Frédéric Chopin

azaleas blooming, red, white and pink
at the Masters it is the signature drink
the tournament renowned as golf’s best
for the players it is the ultimate contest
for many it is physical prowess tested
Mark Twain called it a good walk wasted
for the spectators it is the ultimate garden
so pristine, Mother Nature will never need a pardon
azaleas announce spring from Florida to Pennsylvania
followed by the seedless families cryptogamia*
camera ready, a springtime beauty to behold
many precious memories more valued than gold
why does man hold on to his history
the ego is at the core of this mystery
who cares how many tournaments this man has won
let us find a way where everyone can have some fun

cryptogamia* in a former classification systems: one of two major plant divisions,
including all plants that do not bear seeds: ferns, mosses, algae, fungi.

friends are forever
concerns support each other
feelings that are shared
staying young with memories
while growing old together

Poem:
.
friends stay young with memories
while best friends grow old together
richer than gold friends fill our treasuries
friends forever, regardless of the weather
some every day, some just once in awhile
a good friend shares both the best and the worst
a true friend never tires, mile after mile
for friends the roles are never reversed
to have a friend, be a friend
selfish, self-centered never works
it’s not the money but the time we spend
two friends can be a large network
a stranger is just a friend we have yet to meet
a cold shoulder is a definite sign of unwelcome
something in common makes a friend complete
what works is a smile, a word of welcome
no expectations, just be a friend
for the moment or for a lifetime
just accept what God intends
and if you are real lucky,
you will have a friend to the end.
