Only In Summer
Ah, the joys of summer
delightful sights that
lift our spirits
feed our souls
Chickadees frolic
in the sprinkler, bathe
in puddles on the patio
The arched trellis, encased
in delicate cardinal vines
bright red star-shapes
sing hummingbird's song
Trees in full regalia
absorb the heat, offer
shade and gentle breezes
Four o' clocks present their colors
reveal cheerful faces
only at night
Melon vines "taking over"
redeem themselves with
promise of tasty treat
Sweet Peas cling
to the aged oak
wearing lush pink ornaments
We enjoy these summer pleasures
stockpiling in memory
moments to treasure
in winter's freeze
