Summer Love

In June, we start our fling with summer love.
With richer shades matured from reborn green,
the denser, crowded leaves fill trees above,
that sway with rhythm, peaceful and serene.

Deep green abides in velvety, lush grass
that spreads a carpet on the ground with ease,
as tangled vines now cling and drape, amass,
and willow branches dance in summer's breeze.

June brings warm harmony to mind and heart,
with beautiful, soft-blended fertile hues
that paint the scenery with summer art
'neath calm and rolling skies of tranquil blues.

On the last day, June bows to pass her reign-
              July and August, summer love, sustain.
