View From the Hammock
When sun's bright rays scorch the earth's face,
when dust grit strays to cover every space,
faded blossoms weep while Daffodils sleep
'neath Snapdragon's shade.
Then lily buds burst in rainbow array,
birds slake their thirst in water-hose spray,
as Rose of Sharon competes with Herculean feats
of Cardinal Vine's parade.
The lazy summer breeze will make me pause
while monotone of the bees will give me cause
amid summer's quest to seek quiet rest
in solstice serenade.
