Summer

The honeymoon is over
nature is heating up
leaving green behind
for the heaviness of summer.

Leaves prepare to change colour
birds sing into the night 
thinking of empty nests
and southern skies.

Yarrow and cheeky chickory
line nature's pathways
luring bees and dragonflies
for a last gulp of summer honey.

Farmer's markets overflow
with produce and peaches
bringing hungry locals
to fill their eager bags.
