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. 6/19/2018 Dale Cozart’s Summer Rain 2 Spencerian Stanza
