Notes About The Poem

Heatwave

Cool cats nap in shade
Sweltering blooms, colors smile,
lost in sun's embrace
Pink butterflies carry on
as redbirds play in sprinklers

Lush evergreens gleam,
nearby the stylish people
Many hued Monday
Mauve dragonflies by the lake
Sassy summer's still the same

I have often thought the flight of dragonflies resembles helicopters. Nature is marvelous! Thank you for your kind, positive comments. :)

I often see birds, and even butterflies frolic when our lawn is being watered. Thanks so much for the compliment. :)
