Petals and Things...

The leaves wear pearls

Like little girls in summer dresses

Gardens laugh

Where heaven’s Supreme Signature

Splashes in floral-autograph

The earth wears green

And in between the folds of summer’s

First-fruit hues

We see a collage of color rival

Red, pink, gold, orange, purple and blues

Our mouths wear smiles

For June beguiles the stingiest

Of rusty grins

To part and taste the haste of moments

Melting in petals and things
