graceful hunter takes flight
the skies call her name--
sunfish in her belly

massive skies in rainbow colours
angels light their lamps --
solitary lifeboat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is Lake Superior's Batchawana bay. A place, surely, to inspire poetry.
A lifeboat from the Edmund Fiztgerald was found here, after she sank.

fern fronds spread their arms
silently springing forthwith--
mosquitoes buzzing

nodding pansies pose
brightly dressed with smiling faces-
summer wid caresses our cheeks

summer's critters

cicadas sing
praise summer's diurnal heat-
iris nod wind's rhythm


~~~~~~~~

fireflies beckon
sparklers in the darkest night
twinkling as beacons
lovers lust in the moonlight
shimmering flitting glow worm

For a lovely firefly photo visit here. (I do not have one!)
