The Thrill Of A Late Summer
visions of children shrieking on clogged shores,
warm swirling gusts topple gaunt sand castles,
games galore thrive in weather dry and bright,
family fun fair gasp and sheer delight,
yet summer’s warm hue festoon tapers off,
whilst journeyed beehive swarm near blue lagoon,
dip their toes in sunny moss fleck torrents,
others seize their madcap visceral thrill,
from dashing down mint green meadows

ROOTED IN TODAY' SUNSHINE
ROOTED IN TODAY’S SUNSHINE
(A Haiku Trilogy)
The moon said, “bye sun”;
laid him in his horizon
to wake tomorrow:-
Perpendicular,
I rose between sky and ground;
rooted in sunshine:-
Today has been great,
tomorrow promises more:
yesterday, survived:-

AUTUMN IS NEAR
Can you feel something is about to change,
is it in the air everywhere you turn?
Much cooler mornings and nights are coming,
less sunshine each day for us to enjoy.
Days getting shorter with less time to play,
nights are getting longer with more darkness.
Trees are turning into pretty colors,
colorful leaves will soon be falling down.
Squirrels working very hard

Sunshine girl
~
Along a quiet river
by a lonely looking tree,
a meadowlark way up above
began to sing to me
It's song was so enchanting
that it sent my mind a whirl,
I grabbed a stone and skipped it
thinking bout that sunshine girl
Her kiss was sent from heaven
and her eyes were to adore,
her beauty took my breath away
I couldn't ask for more
My

When Her Soul Touched My Flame
She came to me not in footsteps,
but in frequencies—
a humming echo wrapped in incense,
like moonlight clothed in ancient perfume.
Her name was Safaa,
a syllable the stars once chanted
when the Nile still remembered its gods
and pyramids blinked through the veil of galaxies.
We did not meet.
We remembered.
We folded into each other like twin scrolls
written by fate in invisible

Early Sunrise
Early Sunrise
golden dawn in view
new orb splatters orange tints
birds’ songs fill the air
signs of divine grace from sky
spread bright hues of hope on earth
gilded orb ascends
summer warmth spreads in the space
nature starts anew

Flowers as far as the eye can see
Meadow of clustered flowers
fragrant bouquets of petals
pinks purples yellows whites
~ a delightful extravaganza
Spreading their joy like tentacles
they entice butterflies and bees
while the sun keeps busy
caressing this wild ageless garden

Total Change
rainbow smiles abound
honey sun erased my frowns
olive green trees sing
in welcome warmth of noonday
laughing gold lilies crowd June
I'm no longer blue
as butterflies spread scent news
they're maroon in hue

Place in the Sun
to relive this place
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
