Rose Hips

Many rose hips dot the green bush Buds now mostly gone In the shade of the building's eave Long for a quiet dawn In the shadows blown by a breeze Innocent of chill to come The childlike rushing doesn't know Winter will take its sum The angle of the sun has changed Nights grow longer and cool Lazy days invite come and play While ants store away food

Nice whimsical poem I really enjoyed reading this morning. Our spring is here but winter is hanging on for dear life.

You must be from down under somewhere..We are coming into the fall season here but summer's heat and humidity lingers on. There is suppose to be some cooling this week though..Thanks for stopping by..Sara
