Summer conjures up barbeques and picnics,
including camping and dogs fetching sticks.
And pitching tents, sharing the ground with slugs,
centipedes, and other assorted bugs.
As twilight wains, female mosquitoes thirst
for blood, vying for who will bite you first.
And at sunset, as evening breezes warm,
clouds of annoying gnats begin to swarm.
Ebony skies ignite flashing fireflies,
blinking in and out like sparks as they rise.
And while creepy crawlers stir in moonlight,
crickets break the silence imposed by night.
The morning mist dribbles droplets of dew
onto blades of green grass grasshoppers chew.
And as butterflies sip nectar first light,
dragonflies flex cellophane wings for flight.
Summertime's menagerie of insects
includes artists, farmers, and architects.
Alive, yet colorful as any gem;
we get to share this blue marble with them.
