Aerial Ballet

lush colors sing

dark velvet butterfly

delicately sipping nectar

White, fragrant sphere

hosts Bee and Bumble Bee

dressed in their velvety best

they dance ~humming

gathering sweet nectar

sipping from white trumpets

extracting the treasure within

Waxing moon~like a baroque pearl

not perfectly rounded~yet stunning

milky luminessence~against a lapis lazuli sky

inky branches gently cradle her beauty

Summer Solstice

season's wheel slowly turning

toward shorter days

and longer nights

~

Inhaling the rich fragrance

of these warm, languid

days and nights of deep summer

hoarding them, tucking them away

~

Celebrating each golden day

savoring star-filled nights

blooms and cricket song

for the wheel shall turn again

Desert Landscape

my creation

I smile

June 23rd, 2013

Under summer's cruel, drying rays

roses faint and curl~ buds crisp by noon

Now you wake~shaking out your crepe skirts

popping from shiny pods~ spilling in delightful ruffles

vivid colors aglow~brightened the tired garden

making hearts sing and bees hum
