CHIRRUPING CRICKETS

 

Chirruping Crickets

Foxes in the thicket

With croaking frogs

And barking dogs

Screeching bats

And yowling cats

We left the ugly city

For peaceful and pretty

Well the country life

Is nothing but strife

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  

THE PEACEFUL VILLAGE

 

The peaceful village

In the frozen valley

Lay quietly beneath

Its winter cloak

SOUTH WESTERN MISSION BELL

 

The Mission bells

Blooming herb

Of the south-western States

With dark purple

Bell-shaped flowers

Mottled with green

SUMMER FLOWERS ARE BLOOMING

 

Summer flowers are blooming

In the scented meadows

Are the sun slowly sets

Lengthening the shadows

THE SUMMER IS ENDING

 

The summer is ending

The flowers are dying

The meadows are still

And the geese are flying
