Summer humid haze
Cloaking the earth in white gauze
Of sleepy tumor
languid August night
gliding in his huge Chrysler
how far is Kansas?
this year summer flames
washington wails with no tears
warm hot wind blows west
Japanese maple --
the garden Buddha's Bodhi
in late summer light
rasp of cicadas
vibrates through the evening heat
rattles the dishes
anticipation
summer is finally here
and gone in a flash
naked at nineteen
sand litters damp moonlit sheets
our endless summer
Billow of fragrance
Wafting sultry summer breeze
Honeysuckles bloom
Four cows munching grass
Lightning bugs blinking in trees
Dusk ? a summer day
summer brings colors
vibrant paintings surround us
God's masterpieces
summer sun dripping
liquid gold across the roof
fourteen caret dawn
summer's passion yields
multi-colored hydrangeas
floral fulfillment
morning summer breeze
a concentric draft ascends
white oak leaves tremble
above the treetops
a scattering of swallows
cross the summer moon
summer tomatoes
ripening on green tendrils
promises to keep
hummingbirds hover
sipping sweet summer cider
through delicate straws
golden leaves trip down
tawny toads slow hop away
summer bows to fall
Sunset-splattered peach
Bleeding end-of-summer wine -
A tree hangover
clouds on clouds, waves on
waves in the summer sunset
footprints in the sand
Hard tug on my line
summer speckled trout, redfish
flip in the ice chest.
A stone's drought whispers
As it lies amidst the sun
Dry in summer's end
Dandelions float
On summer's ponds like bodies
Float on winter's lakes
Eyes above water
Watching dragonfly on twig
Flash of sticky tongue
dried yellow leaves
the cottonwood in autumn
tells summer's secrets
summer's backward glance
reluctant to say adieu
one lonely white rose
summer's backward glance
reluctant to say adieu
one lonely white rose
September's summer:
white clematis cloaks fences,
bronze scuppernongs pop.
Warm summer rains pass,
skies are clear again: why not
forgiveness so swift?
The fruits of summer
Visible before my eyes...
Feeling glorified
Thunder in the hills
summer blows through the dry grass?
too much left undone
Rocks click like crickets
air like shimmering water
desert summer heat
children roll downhill
prickles of freshly mown grass
summer sour sweetness
july afternoon
spent looking round old churches
damp palms together
the summer has come
with those blazing shades of red
flavorful cherries
chill winds laboring
summer dies a sultry death
the birth of autumn
Dragonfly alights
Reed slowly bends toward water
Frog watches below
