On hot field days they wave to the flowers, And matching grasshoppers climb their stems, As pink butterflies visit in the lazy hours, While their sly namesake doesn't notice them! Frequently a chorus of crickets can be heard, As they sway gracefully under Moon and Mars. When beauty is spoken without a single word, Like a distant sound of summer night guitars!

This is so lovely, an adulation to nature. Last line is a treasure. ~~

Your words are like music to my ears (pun intended). Thank you. :=)

So vivid, yet gentle, Evelyn. I especially like the first line - 'they wave to the flowers' - and the last line -- 'summer night guitars.' Your poetry sings! ~ Sweetness and Song, Gershon

It's nice to know you found music in these lines. Thank you for a very bright spot in my day, Gershon. Laughter and Delight, Evelyn
