black velvet pansies
this years delight
bright magenta blooms startle
coffee and cream pansies soothe
bleeding hearts favorite of neighbor
each time he walks by
.
five families of Canadian geese
… no passport required …
Mill Pond for swimming and lessons
then nap time for all,
dad watches the sky
two eagles watching goslings napping
.
men with cameras big as tanks
looking for eagles,
not goslings playing at feet
others with easels painting far mountains
in her own world
hubby grabs a book then dozes in sun
.
first time sighting: egret at top of tree
tourists scan horizon ~ never over head
no sign of geese or goslings ~ gone in hiding
people from away escaping summer heat
for me and my feathered friends
Goldilocks DownEast summer

Prompt: joyous discoveries you’ve made so far this summer
for Imaginary Garden with Toads
Day 02- Something that inspires you
.
The sea coast
along the rocky seacoast of
Downeast Maine,
and the beauty that is all around
each season of the year
has its beauty.
‘
Winter,
the sun shining thru turquoise ice
on the granite rocks,
the snow on the shore,
as the tide ebbs and flows,
and the sun shines thru
to show the glorious.
‘
Spring,
the lime green buds of new life,
along the shore
peaking thru
pink and gray granite
carved and tossed on the shore
in past ages.
.
Summer,
clammers with there hods and hoes,
working hard and fast to beat the tides,
seaweed on the huge boulders
carved, broken, left during times
gone long before us.
.
Fall,
melancholy as the life of summer
runs it’s cycle,
the sun warming the granite
we love to sit upon seeing
beauty in dying,
and the earth and sea,
preparing to sleep
til
.
spring starts the cycle
of renewed faith in
life along the
rocky
sea coast of
Downeast Maine.
