Summer
The Sun hangs ripe and juicy,
dripping warmth and passion onto
baked earth
as butterflies drift
deft and lazy by.
Gentle breezes seduce
music from the trees, while
birdsong falls in shards,
splintering the heat.
Distant hum and honeysuckle waft distract.
Around a corner
roses blush, as
bees bumble into their most intimate folds.
Afternoon slumber snaps alert as
evening swifts
screech fear into the skies.
Below, kingfishers splash and
speckled trout
float heavy over pebble beds.
Nearby frogs hide in plants pots;
oozing under logs;
eager for the humid embrace of night.
