Still a boy
Such a happy Ladd
Catching fireflies
In a jar, in midsummer night
Oh, what a dandy, said
His copper moon eyes

Skipping a rock from shore.

Placid wrinkles in midsummer moonlight.

shining her own bright

Last Break

Surfing the crest of
a midsummer night’s dream,
the waves became my friend

Rising and falling
in sets of remembrance
—last break to never end

perfumed aromatics of roses and magnolia 
drift along midsummer evening breezes

enchanted moonlight behind the garden gate
when together there you and I sit complicit

Midsummer

The year is crowned
With a wreath of flowers
Dreams stand in high bloom
Dance around the fire in your soul
Drunken with light
Your heartbeat the sacred drum
The golden petals of the flame
Flickering skyward

Premium Member I Kissed the Rain and I liked It

We walked the beach, held hands, danced in the rain…
I’d go that La La Land time and again.
But what a bummer, 
Dream of midsummer! 
By dawn my fantasy did slowly wane -
Soaked wet I was, I must have kissed the rain.

His Eyes

Your eyes are so calm
like the shade of a Banyan tree on a midsummer day.
I feel soothed by looking at you,
but my thousands of words are less to portray.
From your eyes, I can't move my gaze.
I love to lose my way into your eye's maze.

Red Sun

#1
warmth surrounds the Western Sky 
sweetest midsummer solstice  
flames beaming through the clouds 
mask of the sunrise

#2
sunrise, sunset, sunshine lace
visible radiation 
loving the vibes from the sky
sun lounging around

Premium Member Autumn's Reprieve



                        a park calm and hushed
                        autumn's crisp welcomed reprieve
                        cool shade for the lark
                        summer's cruel oppression lifts
                        an elm shrouded bench composed

Premium Member reminded by a moth

drone of a tv
fluttering wings catch my eye
darkest moth ever

my husband walks through
will you be murdering me?
midsummer murder

English tv show
their favorite word is brilliant
roving detectives

glimpse out of my eye
moth gives me another pass
our lives are fleeting

Midsummer Warning

August is sunburn and moonlight
August's a menace to men.
When the casual canoer discovers l'amour,
August has done it again.

August is moonlight and sunburn,
When the bachelor sows as he reaps.
His sunburn just might finally unburn,
But he's burned in the moonlight for keeps.

Midsummer Moment

Romantic shadows of
Luminous love
Lend intense warmth
To a midsummer night as
Sensuous fragrance,
Shimmering moonlight,
Combine in nature's backdrop
While a quartet of flutes
At the water's edge
Enhances spectral mists and
Hushes soft laughter
For a moment of nocturnal tranquility.

Premium Member Nature's Breast

The sunshine climbs up the rooted ladder smelling the midsummer umber sentinels, that stand tunnel watch over later comers shushing the interrupted lull wild that have succumbed to slumber. Scented mumbling of dawn's spiral seraph rose pink of light lumbers.

Premium Member Purple Kisses

On a breathtaking midsummer day
Catching a ride upon a sunray
Serenely fluttering hovering
Teasingly skipping gliding soaring 
As sweet as a baby's lullaby
A featherlight azure butterfly
Playful flirtatious hits and misses
Purple violets purple kisses
