Summer Feigns a Cool

August breezes
swing the feeders
summer sprinklers
refresh the way;
lazy morning’s
busy grasses
make an oxy-
moron day.

There’s a smile
deep inside me
bubbling up to
delight my play;
syncopated
rhythmic slapping
marks the seconds
held at bay.

Roses wait
aromas wafting
in a sweet
en rapt array;
dancing on
the currents waving
beneath the trees
in mellow sway.

It’s time for me
to stand and labor
purposeful,
without delay;
to give these hours
their time of blessing
while taking time
to stop and pray.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Lovely, absolutely lovely. I'm so glad I found a website that houses such great work. Most of the poems I read are from people that never seem to pick up a book much less a pen. You obviously don't have that problem.

I have only my genius to declare!
