Hot suffocating wind
smothers foliages true colours
leaving crisp brunt stems
High ear piercing drones
tree frogs tell the temperature
on this sultry night
Sun lowers herself
creating shadows thru leaves
bowing in this drought
Breeze blown crickets songs
lull the listener into sleep
while blankets are tossed
Hummers drink heartedly
fortifying for their journey
to warmer climates
Squirrels run along roofs
walnuts overfill their mouths
food for months ahead
Snowball hydrangeas
faint lacking life giving moisture
dried blossoms fill vases
Chilled Chardonnay warms
quickly this late summers eve
ice bucket empties…..
Very nice ... Me like!
