so ripe and ready to be consumed–
their short season breaks our skipping hearts

Beautiful Blue Things
a blue moon
blue-violet hydrangeas
the blue hour of day
indigo buntings and bright jays
the word “cerulean”
dewy summer blueberries
tiny robin eggs
glimmering saphires and aquamarines
delicate bluebells and forget-me-nots
antique blue and white china
translucent butterfly wings
worn denim
cobolt glass bottles
silver bracelets with turquois stones
blue velvet
a cloudless sky in july
What Summer Looks Like
summer looks like the tops of lush, green trees
and a steady dock,
the whisper of a flying finch,
and the setting of the evening sun
against the sweet smell of cut grass
Faces
those little purple faces smile serenely on the balcony–
while the geese fly and wasps dart and the frogs call out at dusk
Missing
the smell of grass
cotton candy sunsets
warm breezes from an open window
lemonade on the balcony
Daisies in July
When I walked this path in the winter, you were sleeping silently. And when the snow landed on my lashes, I sometimes would think of your white petals swaying in the breeze. You are such a welcome sight to my walks in July.
Summer Porch Ledge
A porch ledge on a warm June night beckons with sparkling secrets
that only small, twinkling lights can keep. Charming all winged
creatures and telling fantastic midnight tales of adventure,
their hypnotic spell weaves in and out of green ivy dreams.
The Pleasures of Spring
soft, blue skies
late sunsets
pink and yellow and red and purple
tender grass
rainy afternoons
thunderstorms
the smell of soil
cool mornings
shades of green
baby bunnies
a robin’s blue egg shell
carrots from the farmer’s market
