Summer, Amid Green Valley's Highest Peaks

Summer, amid green valley's highest peaks
Through the woods air's sweet release carry on.
Birds quiet among leaves still far withdrawn.
Shade of carmine leaves bath in golden steaks.

Labyrinth fields sun's freedom to rally.
Horned owl rides the air stream, into darkness
Against the fading moonlight's hunt stillness
Joy flying in silence dilly-dally.

Cicadas sing loudly, nymphs mating song;
Graceful gray mourning doves forage in pairs
soft cooing sound, comforting that is theirs
A wee surprise exquisite bliss lies long.

Drizzling sunshine and showers creation,
Promising poetic inspiration.

Thank you for my placement, Lasaad. I live in a small community that is surrounded by farmland. The Cicadas are out and I have a pear of morning doves on my front porch they seem to be always together. I assume they have a nest near by and they are protecting it.
