Notes About The Poem

Foxy Foxtails

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. ~~

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
