Fairy dreams of green-wood fern
Feather from the wing of time
Summer's nimble mansion
Berries harsh and crude
My stem was fair, my bud was green
Bloom I strove to raise
Hidden secret of eternal bliss
-----
Notes
In summer
Fairy Feather
Summer's Berries
My Bloom Hidden

I love it in the summer when the days are long and there's lots of time to explore things, sit in the sun, drink iced tea and lemonade!!!
Enjoyed the pictures!
I hope that you have a great weekend! Be back on Tuesday!
lovely ferns. Mine always get crispy on the edges. What is the name of that dainty little sunflower looking plant?
a slice of heaven...
Very, very nice. Thank you.
Damn, you really know the old chestnuts, don't you? My Pop-pop - a great gardener - used to quote stuff like that.
Nice prose...thank you for making summer feel leisurely, even if mine isn't.
Thanks Ava, have a nice weekend.
Meredith, I think it's just called Brown Eyed Susan. There are a ton of them here at the edges this time of year. I think it's a Rudbeckia but I'm not sure which one.
Lime, yeah if only it wasn't for the 100+ heat.
SG, thanks!
Dave, I must admit that I just finished listening to a book on tape about "Great Poems". :) Wish I really did know them by heart. At one point I thought about arranging things so that the first words combined for a haiku at the end. Then I thought about an arrangement where the lines made a new poem when read together... But I had to be at a meeting by 10:00 so I just left it as a thought.
Lisa, mine's not either, it just looks that way on paper.
Your pics and prose are lovely par usual :)
Wonderful bright pictures!!
Thanks KF and Rachel!

...Summer's nimble mansion....
