Sister Summer

by Chip Kuzborski

Vibrant
brushstrokes of spring,
pepper the bare landscape
and seduce our eager senses.
Invite your sister season's long warm days,
to cultivate your plush, proud flora.
Pass nature's trusted baton,
summer is waiting
to shine so
bright.

Evening Performance
By Y. M. Roger

Fairies
Flit through the air
Chromatic symphony
Of effulgent streaks and glitter
Performing ?neath where the trees meet the stars
Tonight, the crickets and frogs join in
Enhancing the vibrant show
You?ll never forget
Dancing with
Sprites!
