Notes About The Poem

Summer Joy

The door opens to hot sunshine
and yellow daisies sway near 
red roses, where orange 
butterfly sits in summer, as
blue jay sings jazz at noon,
and red robin joins the tune.

Squirrels scamper in the 
sycamore trees, green sheen,
in sight of droopy willows,
where violet butterflies flutter.
Then sunbeam runs out the door
to play. He's not sick anymore!
