a merry band
of cheerfulness
still jumping mid-summer
Garden Party
hollyhock corsage
every one is invited
to summer’s dance
The Frog Overseer
from his porch perch
supervising
summer’s bloom
Cows In The Pasture
however far away
place holders
for a summer’s day
Dog Days
it is good
to run in the brook
and dash through sun and shade
Garden Lights
sunflowers
still holding
summer sun
Old Structures Reminisce
behind the arbor and gazebo
berries blush recalling
memories of summer kisses
Too Soon To Say Goodbye
like summer
we linger
by the fencepost
At Summer’s Edge
down by the river
the susans and goldenrod
commune
Not Done Yet
sweet September
unwilling to let
summer’s party fade away
Watching The Clouds Parade
this rightful place
at river’s edge
near summer’s end
I Do
summer weds itself
carrying bouquets
of sweet william
Meadow Surf
swells of color
summer’s current
these flowering wave sets
Summer’s Best Friend
take shelter
in the sweet shade
of the dear old tree
The Garden At Noon
from the shade
I take a long drink
of her colors
Celestial Pageantry
parade
of clouds
celebrates summer
The Garden Bench
in morning shade
watching
a summer day unfold
Strawberries
red, ripe, juicy
summer hauntings
of winter’s slow end
Taking Turns
summer lingers
in the field
autumn at the fencepost
Soft Saunter Of Colors
late summer
climbed the hill
making way for autumn
Ordinary Hero
summer stalwart
holding up the sky
fending off fall
Dominion
Queen Ann
presides over
the hillside
July Morning Fields
shadow and light
stretching out into
the long summer day
Safekeeping
the garden’s
hatcheck
foxglove at the fence
Portrait of Summer
eternal rock
seasonal bloom
a passing butterfly
Painted
paintbrush
of wildflowers
depicts summer bloom
Spring Squares Off With The Summer Sun
spring bulbs
duel the sun
high noon in the garden
Departure
on red leaf wings
summer days
fly away
Summer Surrounded
season change
maple frames
the baled hay
Lighted By A Flowering Torch
summer dims
yet light shines on
in the garden
