Summer Shower

Awash her hair in honeysuckle suds,
As rain with pleasure falls from puffy clouds, 
Over dye — pink and gray sans sun, pert buds.
Youth’s effervescent scent of rain so loud —
The sunflowers asleep...June laughs out loud.
A summer’s stream of joyful tears abet
The pinch of confidence — a blushing crowd
Of pinkish roses dawn in stained sunset.
A butterfly jade comb adorns June’s hair warm-wet.
