let the flowers be wild
the days long
and the tree shade deep
Prayers For July
A Lazy Graze
cows know
how to do summer
slow and sweet
Before Us
summer stretches out
in sunshine and tree shade
idle days and lemonade
Calligraphy Of Leaves
the story of summer
written in winter
told by the fall
Invitation
autumn left
the gate open so
summer’s end could enter
After Labor Day
summer’s heat
still shimmers
in the tall grass
Family Tradition
the old wagon
all summer long
a spectacle of bloom
Another Scorcher
wading in
deep shade
on a hot summer day
The August Garden
drinking in humidity
and transforming heat
into color
Time’s Turning
summer’s life seen
as a kaleidoscope
of colors
Summer Spot
from the heat of the rock
into the cool depths of the lake
JUMP
Three Ingredients
a summer portrait
of New England
allium, clematis, clapboard
Swing Time
with the morning sun
still kind
dew tickles toes
Summer Is Unbridled
when
the wild flowers
roam
All The Season Always
there is a veil
between winter and spring
comprised of the remains of summer and fall
Late Bloomer
in the summer
a wall flower
by October a princess
Summer Is
a red lipped maiden
leaving kisses
on the sundial
High Summer
the sun at her zenith
the shade deepens
all things ever balancing
Fleeting
as with
the morning fog
summer is dispersing
Into Forever
green summer
at our feet
the lazy day expands
Down The Road
the blessed old barn
storing our histories
of summer
On A Hot Summer Day
the watering can
builds confidence
amongst the flowers
Snow In Summer
flurry
of white blooms
a storm of beauty
Summer Took Me By The Hand
and stretched before me
verdant, tender, true
as the great green meadow
Keeping Watch
at summer’s threshold
a redwing
stands sentry
Summer Comes
a window is opened in heaven
in summer waltzes
scattering shades of blue
Flowers Of Light
like a memory
of summer
magnifying sunlight
If Summer Could Go On Forever
sunflowers would
shine their cheerful light
through winter’s dark night
Essential Elements
steel heron
waits by stone bowl
filled with rain
August Sun
reeds and grasses
illumined by heat
green fire on the water
