Bewitching planet
volcanoes spewing forth your
unknown mysteries

forging a vibrant blue sphere
mere mortals try to destroy

Essence of Summer by Linda Lee Lyberg In spite of this stifling heat the yellow squash blossoms again delicate golden trumpets greeting a watercolor dawn sky as lizards gather on the garden stones waiting for their early feast of beetles racing from the sprinkler’s path to meet an early demise Honeybees dip fragile wings and hairy feet in shallow colorful birdbaths, drinking this precious fluid, for here in the vast southwest each body of standing water no matter how small serves a purpose refreshing life and quenching the thirst of the tiniest of creatures Later when the sun is crackling and frying, the brave garden stills and quiets with nothing but the sound of cicadas singing in the canopy of the mesquite a steady hum ringing in the halcyon air and now the creatures in the garden seek welcome shade and at last, sleep. #charmedchaos #poem #poet #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryofinstagram
