THE SUMMER IS ENDING

 

The summer is ending

The flowers are dying

The meadows are still

And the geese are flying

YELLOW BELLS

 

The Yellow bells

The viscid herb

Inhabiting the arid places

With its sticky leaves

And pendulous bell like

Yellow flowers

Blooming in the desert

Of the south-western states

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
