A New Dress

The beauty of the summer is upon us

For she dressed herself with greenery

Putting on her finest dress 

She stepped upon the carpet green

and sunk into the soft moss

She touched the flowers and they exploded

with a multitude of colors 

She gently touched everything

Bringing vibrant colors to the landscape

Painting a beautiful scenic wonder

She wrapped herself in the finest

Showing off her new dress of the season.
