Late June's musky days
and gardens tell their rapture
in colorful fumes.
Such feverish excitement
in season of bloom, verdant!
Scarlet and gold reign
'Til peach and plum take over
Pinks and blues follow.
Muggy days and heady nights
lit up by dark-blue starlight.
The best part of Summer. So colorfully and beautifully said, in a most unforgettable and gorgeous way! To my very favorites.
