Summer Nights

by magic dragon

Summer;
stars will twinkle
in the quiet darkness,
no wind will blow, subdued by warmth,
creatures of the warm night will sing; Listen!
unsettling the silent ambiance,
except, to spy the small mouse
enter his cool home;
wise is he,
heat.

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!
