Mid-July

Blackened marshmallows
hot dogs with the works
flying leaps in lakes

Sun showers follow
follow, follow me
where wild lilies grow

Cayenne fiery sky
tiger lily-red
thunder in the west

Lakeside

Lazy July sun
tethered by a breeze
green waters whisper

Postscript 2

Wind west by southwest
take me where wildflowers
still know my name

Lemony sweet days
sweltering July
frothy blazing sky

Hibernal

Canicular days
summer’s glory hours
golden, molten, ours
