Glad July

Jaunty plumes of glad July
Beckon to bees passing by-
“Hello! Hello! Come and see
What garden pleasures there may be.”
Crickets chirp an invitation –
“There is nectar here for your libation.
Colours there are to entice your eye,
Brilliant hues and perfumes to try.
Come once, come twice. Pause for a sip.
It’s worth your time to make the trip.”
Pansies curtsy as breezes play
And rare is the bee that stays away.
The poem is as jaunty and lovely as the flower, itself!
Thank you, Claremary. My husband’s garden inspires me.
