trimming donkey feet
summer sun behind rain clouds
I call with carrots
meadow exhales heat
sluggish warm-bellied cows graze
lazy summer morn
Summer flowers grow
Feeling green grass underneath
Stars dot fading skies
summer's construction
intricate origami
wasps' paper palace
stained glass dragonfly
in the lightness in the darks
longing for true spring
Indian Summer
Laburnum blossoms shower
A golden carpet
Sunlight vanishes
Ripe pears sway like jade earrings
Sullen summer storm
sharp August north wind
tastes Aberdeen's North Sea beach
waits for November
Sunlight permeates
Cicadas echo in song
Snake basks in the heat
sky of pink and green
indian summer arrives
on silent warm feet
Twisturn august trees
in sorrowful ageless time;
night is eloquent
the summer solstice -
summiting the highest peak
in my neighborhood
new life, my first son
your eyes mirror the heavens
spring, summer now fall
Devastating news
A man leaving through the door
Goodbye to summer
a boy, his skullcap
a Muslim girl paints his face
during summer camp
weathered flower box
hydrangea's delicate fade
summer's acquiesce
Humidity wafts
slowly, lazily, freely
through this August day
Her bearded iris
reblooming in the summer
exotic purple
empty rural road
cloudless moonless summer night
the Milky Way shines
A single rose bud
quenched by a noon Summer storm
opens at midnight.
Summer nostalgia;
the dull shine of beaten tin;
my mother's kitchen.
Sleepy summer squash
lounge upon yellow grasses
farmers till soft soil.
Cicadas singing
Trees sweating sweet aroma
Bathing in the sun
sickness is certain
he dances on, blooming as
a rose in summer
Looking south, ducks call.
Sighing, trees release summer:
Fluttering leaf falls.
The tractor yearning
through hot Leelanau summer
the pull of gold stalks.
framed in shades of blue
billowing white taffeta
summer's midday sky
ripples sway the boat
dragonflies swarm my bobber
hoping for a bite
Late summer sun warms
tomato is turning red
earth spins and wobbles
Warm summer breezes
memories of three sisters
calmness before storm
Snow-white butterfly
Floats by on a summer breeze
Slowly melts away
Two storks and a cat
Linens drying on the line
Summer on the farm
Summer rain spatter
Unsettled dusky maiden.
Parasol resort.
Bitter autumn wind
Sinks teeth into summer's end.
Leaves visibly flinch.
late summer drowses
a country cemetery
gravestones forgotten
soft summer breezes
lilies nod so politely
jets roar overhead
