SUMMER FLOWERS ARE BLOOMING

 

Summer flowers are blooming

In the scented meadows

Are the sun slowly sets

Lengthening the shadows

CALIFORNIA YELLOW BELLS

 

California Yellow bells

Inhabiting the arid places

With pendulous bell like

Yellow flowers

Blooming in the desert

BENDING IN THE BREEZE

Bending in the breeze

White stalks sway

Flower heads dancing

On a summer day

SOUTH WESTERN MISSION BELL

 

The Mission bells

Blooming herb

Of the south-western States

With dark purple

Bell-shaped flowers

Mottled with green

TRANQUILLITY DESCENDS

 

Tranquillity descends

And sunshine reigns

When the storm abates

And peace remains

BEES ATTENDED TO THE ROSES

 

Bees attended to the Roses

As Butterflies fluttered by

The great artist mixed his blue

And with it painted the sky

And the sweet scent of lavender

Lingered long on the afternoon air

Should we ask for better?

I don’t think we dare

BABBLING STREAM INTO RIVER

 

Babbling stream into river

Flows on through the lea

Skirting woodland as it winds

On the move constantly

Cutting thru meadow sweet

On its journey to the sea
