Summer poems & summer plants

Anthurium bloom

I SEE YOU!

Passing

through the house, I

spot in the shady yard

the V-shaped ears of resident

rabbit.

Robin

bathing in last

night's very-welcome rain.

A finch wades in, then out, then in

again.

Sage from Mother's Day planter

Faint sounds

of night insects

this summer morning. Rains

brought relief--and humidity,

no breeze.

MORNING

"Do, re

mi, mi, mi, do."

The wind chimes serenade,

the cat spies a lizard, the squirrel

searches.

and electric-meter wheel

steamy summer night
