greening grass blades point

summer’s turtle doves
splash together in birdbath
triplet squabs wait turn
* * * * *
how many eggs hatched this year?
dry birdbath counts more grown doves!

in classical haiku Tags: cows, fireflies, hollyhocks, iowa, July, summer
glimpsed thru evergreen
summer blushes crimson red
neighbor’s hollyhocks
cornfields of faeries
follow grandchildren’s ball games
fireflies shine at night
angus cows with calves
graze in heavenly pastures
sweet ruminations
still life spice
