To be in Summer

Children of the dandelion

float gently in all harmony

looking for a spot to rest on

they have no mind of company

only for a place to be

 


When the willow reaches out

in hopes to tickle grass below

it meets the little fickle sprout

from which the seeds will later flow

if it is allowed to grow


The chirping of the fresh hatched chick

the barking from the squirrel's tree

the dog running out to fetch the stick

the buzzing of the bumblebee

this is Summertime to me
