Hey, Johnny Jump Up,
Mischievous elf,
Your look like Viola,
Not like yourself.
Same shape, same colors -
Before our eyes,
Your yellow and purple,
Quite the disguise.
Vibrant, bright colors
Painted on your five petals
Love, luck and happiness
Your gifts...

Summer Flowers
By the time it's officially Summer,
Without a doubt, they will be arresting me.
Presently, they are budding under the crape myrtle.

SunflowersSunlit petals can be found
Underneath a center round,
Nodding ... both to and fro
Finding summer breezes' blow,
Loyal to a warm embrace
Over to the sun they face,
While they stand, o, so tall
Even into the months of...

Queen Of SinkholesFrazzle dazzled Summer escapades,
a wave of madness hoists a red flag;
Fuchsia allows my brain to defrag,
sunsets melt hues into softer shades;
I can now turn down those hot coals
that my emotions have been tossed on;
Acting impulsive...

As Humid Night Turned Into Day
As humid night turned into day,
my eyes I lifted to the gray
and what I saw gave me a turn.
Emboldened blaze of rising sun!

Summer Days
Colorful umbrellas dot the shore
As beachgoers bask in sunshine
Sandcastles threatened by waves
People collect seashells
As the ocean roars
There's fun and sun
On sizzling

My Dying PlantsA casual walk today in mid-July
past daisies in my garden fading fast--
as Birds of Paradise seen fading, too.
I walk a brick-lined path down stairs, past
tiny drooping pansies in their pots.
It's summer now, I knew they...

SUMMER FLOWERSUMMER FLOWER
I am relentless, a true survivor
Pushing up across every green lawn
Unashamed, just like Lady Godiva
But a commoner, no affected yawn
From that famous seed head, I am born
Then to bright yellow, in all my glory

Hibiscus~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wander about, surrounded by the hush of heaven.
There is a red hibiscus blooming in the summertime garden.
The sight of its touch enamors me: a morning kiss.

My Now is Just Your ThenAs the clocks creep,
unknown...
again,
my summer's call,
of Calendulas,
and Cotswold stone,

cannot be…here,
just for me,
alone.
