A Midsummer Day

A Midsummer Day Locusts are buzzing high up in the trees Birdsong is floating along on the breeze Butterflies flitting between the Milkweeds Chipmunks are chirping while munching on seeds Flowers are blooming in bright garden rows Boasting of colors akin to rainbows I always enjoy a nice summer day But the sun will soon set and take it away Soon moonbeams are streaming soft pale light On a clear, warm, starlit, summer night

Your summer day sounds beautiful but your summer night sounds even more so. During the day the butterflies flit about entertaining us while at night the fireflies put on a show. A wonderful poem about a gorgeous day my friend.

Hi Chris, sometimes during the summer, the nights ARE the best, I love sitting around a bonfire on a full moon summer night - and of course there are fireflies (and sometimes mosquitos), I just didn't mention them ;) Thank You, I always look forward to your visit here :)
