Greeting darkness
Life’s constant foe
Silent journey
Absent shadow
Hidden purpose
Never speaking
Winter too long
Cold floor creaking
Blackness escapes
Bright light prevails
Time’s transition
Finding new trails
Hello sunshine
Life’s steadfast friend
Catching each smile
Day shall ascend
Sunglasses on
Joy filling heart
Now to catch up
Summer’s fun starts
Dog days of summer arrive
Sweating from moist, humid heat
Corn lifting up to heavens
Backyard grilling offers eats
Morning sun heats up quickly
Sweltering hot by high noon
Swimming pools usually packed
Closed by afternoon monsoons
Workers staying hydrated
Drinking water without end
Temperatures set record
Weather refusing to bend
Landscape’s beauty quickly fades
Stressing out from endless drought
People’s patience wearing thin
Nature sends timely bailout
Everyone prays for relief
Welcoming cold front arrives
Brief respite from summer’s heat
Dog days now humbly nosedive
Beauty without words
Stirring each silent chorus—
Morning’s sunrise beams
Chilly summer night
Hint of early autumn dreams—
Calendar page turns
Woven together
Composing her melodies—
Harmony praising
Looking out from backyard deck
Nature’s bounty welcomes all
Noble trees shroud quiet creek
One more day, closer to fall
Summer pleasures, don’t leave yet
Early sunrise, high blue sky
Birds finding feast, velvet lawn
New moments, ready to fly
Taste tranquility-filled hours
Blissful life singing with praise
Path through woods, deer’s faithful sign
Midnight’s moon always ablaze
Gentle wind serenades now
Cooler evening air invites
Tree’s swinging to breezy song
Quiet peace, life’s hidden heights
Hour grows late, pausing to see
Promised arrival smiles back
Fireflies dancing above grass
Nature’s final, sweet snack
Life no longer singing wintertime blues
Summer’s sweetness rocks around timeless clock
Easy life, driving nature’s express lane
Planning fun times on each neighborhood block
Fresh-cut wood pile, next to backyard fire pit
Little granddaughter’s eyes, poised to light up
Marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate
Making sweet S’mores, summer’s perfect line-up
Nighttime fun never really wants to end
New memories flicker around fire’s glow
Please, please . . . let us stay for another hour
Darkening fire gracefully ends night’s show
On my, another blessed summer night
Dreaming later, tomorrow taking flight
Overcast morning
Gray covers forgotten sun—
Missing in action
Crystal clear waters
Canoe glides with rhythmic pace—
Perfect melody
Galactic journey
Cosmic adventure comes true—
Man’s final frontier
Sunrise sends greeting
Creator’s hand wakens day—
Glorious morning
Soul-filled percussion
Pulsating afternoon sky–
Thunder’s rhythmic beat
Hot days continue
Waiting for autumn colors—
Summer must insist
Summer’s heat taking pause
Rain touches with wet paws
Dry landscape’s soaking mist
Moisture been greatly missed
Gray overcast hides skies
Missing sun sadly sighs
Nature’s well-deserved break
Setting up summer’s cake
Crops, flowers, and grass smile
Delicious, stay awhile
Harmony finds its tune
Despite absent, full moon
Tranquility looks down
Nature’s elegant gown
Richest hues, brightest tones
Beauty’s shining gemstones
Precious stones on display
Add one more day to play
Summer’s heat shall resume
But first, smell rain’s fresh bloom
Glorious sunrise
Serenity awakens—
Morning’s peace dawning
Morning feeding time
Nature’s chaotic rhythm—
Bird feeder invites
Dog days of summer
Mercury ready to burst—
Appetite heats up
Boyhood memories
From summers long past
Adventures waiting
Hot weather forecast
Sandlot invites fun
Baseball games on tap
No umpires needed
Wearing well-worn caps
Bike hike across town
Returning back home
Pedaling with haste
Where’s slowpoke Jerome?
Backyard sleepover
Under heavens’ stars
Awake at midnight
Sharing candy bars
Afternoon calling
Under cloudless sky
Swimming pool waiting
Diving board banzai
Waiting for darkness
Nighttime doorbell fun
Hiding in shadows
Ditch ‘em on the run
