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!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed 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?
ReplyDeletea slice of heaven...
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDamn, you really know the old chestnuts, don't you? My Pop-pop - a great gardener - used to quote stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteNice prose...thank you for making summer feel leisurely, even if mine isn't.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ava, have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteMeredith, 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 :)
