Ode To Summer - audio link

This is for roses, and junipers
All things that grow

For mint and dewy clover
To days and nights going slow

Dandelions, and  Daisies
Kisses under moonlight's glow

Sun in the trees
Hot afternoons,
Sugary Ice teas

Cold lemonade
Warm friendships
In the cool of shade
For all little children
Who run in the glade

Buzzing bees
Sunflower seeds

Cows that say
Moo to passersby
Corn that cracks
In the damp blue sky

Robins and Geese
Hawks and Blue Jays

Windy flaxen grass
Oats a whistling
Old pond, green moss
Turtles and frogs listening

Rain falling fast
Crystal clear
Coming down at last
Far and near

Ice cold springs
Ringing through the forest
Tiny cricket sings
With cicadas and locusts

In ferns, under the bottlebrushes
Lay warm moose and calf
Red Foxes jump in the deep rushes
While squirrels run off to nap

Forest green, antlers crest,
Hidden creatures eyes
In hedge, hole and nest

There out to spy,
To play,
To feed,
To rest
