the perfection of summer
absolute blue skies
crickets cheering bel cantos
spark birds plugging for lawn grubs
remain in warm suns
obedient girasols
leave darkness behind

A Mid-Summer Cosmic Awareness Cry

The blue sky’s white clouds, once happy, became weary;
Tears flowed slowly down until a blinking loud outburst occurred:-

Following this occurrence, cloud teardrops began to fall faster;
And later, it was like those clouds’ eyes became turned facets:-

After a while, these flowing tears gradually came to a dampening halt;
Light blue sky, white clouds, and a brighter sun, all made their return:-

Wow! On this beautiful summer day, nature canvassed a streaming
Equally as beautiful as were the past days of the revered spring rains.

Such amazing awareness it is, how nature canvases the oneness 
Of summer and spring’s allegorical messaging of resurrection.

Premium MemberA SUMMER BALLET

A SUMMER BALLET  

In shade and cool winds,
tree green leaves and pink flowers,
joyfully ballet:-

Incandescent

noon’s furnace: asphalt shimmers; air—thick, slow—
cracks open. cicadas drill through stagnant gold.
a sprinkler’s hiccup-hiss: the pavement’s glow
un/curls in steam. the hydrant’s shout: uncontrolled.

children shriek!—a liquid burst of now,
popsicle rivers bleed; knuckles—sticky, green—
cling to handlebars. shadows stretch: thin, lean
across chain-link. each blade of grass—laid down—

bakes. but dusk? a match-strike: fireflies!—
the yard exhales jasmine; stars prick the bruised eaves—
porch swings gasp. the melted things—still writhing—
pool in gutters: chalk suns, lemon peels, dreams.

the silence hums. even time—soft, unspooled—
beads on your neck. and summer? stays. but cooled.

Premium MemberSUMMER JUXTAPOSITION

A SUMMER JUXTAPOSITION)

Wow…90 degrees!
Suddenly, white clouds...dark blue:
Then, steaming rain falls


pop goes the summer


grains in sunglasses,
one pops with enthusiasm—
too much heat to chill.

golden laughter


golden husks aglow,
laughter pops beneath the sun,
waves applaud the show.

Premium MemberSUMMER RAIN

SUMMER RAIN

God cried today
His tears fertilizing 
The womb of 
Mother Earth:

The wet smell
Of nature’s essence
Saturated the air
As moist breeze blew
Breath of new life
Into dried hopes
Wilted in despair:-

The rainy season
Of life has begun:
Maybe love’s peace 
Will hollow her footprints
In the canvassing mud:-

The Evening Walk

The summer breeze lapped at my hair
Firmly yet gently lifting each strand
The warm caress of the sun
Brought happiness to my weeping skin
My lips parted as laughter
Freely trickled down my chin
My eyes lit a beaming path for my feet
As I began my evening walk

Abruptly I tripped and fell
Soberly I looked around
For the object of my humility
And found myself gazing into my own eyes
I had tripped and fallen over myself
Fighting to regain a composure
That proved to be elusive
I stood and faced myself
As I continued my evening walk

The Eternal Pine Forest, An Unofficial Love Sonnet

I love the winter, the way it whirls my breath
Away; reminds me I am alive, there's hope.
I love the ferns bejeweled in snow, the heath
As it patterns our legs, walking forest-roads.
I love the spring, that washes snow away,
Brings flowers, strong roots, fragile and pale-
Seeming. I love the summer, storm-blaze
Lazy lightning, theater of stars, golden corn
That nourishes body and soul. Yet much more
I love my friend, Artemis-twin, born
Under the weight of July, dice against the score,
Surviving, with lightning bolt in her spine.
Her autumn rain, soft and healing, but strong,
Metallic purple dancing in wind-song.

Petal

The Petal is a bud
That opens to a bloom
It blossoms with the Sun
On Summer afternoons

When Climate freezes Day
It’s easier for Men
To know why Petals wither 
– Theirs to understand

But when Summer is at hand
And Noon upon the Day
Men can but exclaim
With unconcealed dismay
When the blooming flower 
Folds and fades away

But for Frost within the root
And Chill within the stem 
– These cannot be ascertained
By Petal or by Man

end of summer stream

              'long the river bed
                   on the edge 
                        
              that pretty stream
                      trickling
                  such the soft
                       sound
                    each little
                       ripple
                   her tresses
                      flapping
 
                         it's
                        brisk
                  our first meet
                      the river
                        rocks

Premium MemberA JUXTAPOSED TREAT OF NATURE


A summer rain falling,
Fierce winds blowing hard;
Ping-pong hale pounding:-

Shortly thereafter,
The rain and wind are no more;
Sun's back...thunder roars:-

Nature can be weird,
Sharing her thunderstrom treats
On a summer day

Premium MemberThe Breath Of Summer: Saturnian I

A stretched gloaming tethers creation in a 
daystar's wake ... askew parts The Old Guitarist 
ebbing lambent stars strung to a yarn of spring ...

'Tis the volley of calendrical crasis 
poised to a youthful Einstein that subtracts from 
the sum and substance whence summer makes a splash ...

The advent of an enchanting star dulls a
chant that the Khanate only stains upon its 
Golden Horde smolders beneath befriending clouds ...

A whiff that slights Aurelius' bearings yet
still trifles a chalk absence to the presence
of cheese that embellishes the languid tracing ...

The shallow space of bards decreed a crowning 
flock of teary favoring san tissues of
lissome verdancy choral ode vibrant charms ...

Worshipped effervescent microscopic dew 
bringing into being just one bell prayers
bearing fruits of promise in globule water ...

Petrichor emanates to a hoverance 
wisp claim as wandering brevity stands still 
amidst a sonder of souls ventured threshold ...

Gold beams glimpsed a bevy coup of a vast crest
as the dripping stalled in evaporating
stares chase a clinked rainbow flaunts with ... creation.

Summer Smoke

Sun’s out time to smoke my weed 
No time to plant stupid seeds 
I grow my belly  
My tongue likes jelly 
My eyes cry out from high speeds.
