The blue jays are converging, at the top of the garden wall, Singing their new old songs, in the young days of summer, And spell-casting sluggish heat, holds all in a dreamy thrall, Until dazzling golden skies, have darkened to a rich umber. The blue jays meet there daily, in a big conference of colors, Warbling their joys and concerns, amongst the hued blooms, While red butterflies attend other gatherings, at other hours, In the lemony air of sunny days, redolent in spicy perfumes.

Ahh!! The gift of writing about nature in all its beauty. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. I wonder how hot that phlox gets in the heat of summer against those rocks? Sara

Nature can certainly be resilient! I've often marveled at flowers growing in narrow cracks in the sidewalk. Thank you so much for your thoughts. Evelyn :)

"Until dazzling golden skies, have darkened to a rich umber." Very well-written verse, and so descriptive, that we can have some whiffs of the fragrance!

This is so evocative, I actually began to smell the spicy perfumes! I also especially liked the skies turning to umber, a new idea for me. Thank you1 Elizabeth
