All the good things about life in the country
Green ovals houseWhite wood At summer's end the husks Dry to brown, then black and split open.The wood turns brown and brittle Nuts drop to the ground.Hands and knees harvest themOn cool November afternoons. Crack the shells and find Pecan pies.
SunflowerSummer's paintbrushDipped in gold sunlight,Swirled in orange sunsets,Stroked in dark soil,Dabbled across oceans of sky,Lighted with firefly beams, Spangled in dragonfly sparkles,Splashed on the parchment of August.
CantaloupeMusky bouquet of garden,Smell of fresh-turned soil,Fragrance of spring rain,Whiff of orange and yellow butterflies,Perfume of a gardener's prayers,Scent of sunshine,Essence of heat.Stop and smell a cantaloupe.It is summer.
