Between Sweetwater and Sand

Summer is here with sun, rain and lapping waves.  Yesterday I laid on the sand and listened to the waves on Lake Michigan rolling in.  I felt peaceful in the sun and wind.  Today rain is on the way to nourish our grasses, trees and flowers.  The butterflies appreciate the blossoms.  While sitting outdoors yesterday I wrote this poem:

                                      Butterfly Lovely

                            Butterfly lovely around my flowers

             Buckeyes, red admirals, black swallowtails

Fan their wings then fly away--

Dragonflies breeze by

Bumblebees honey bees

Buzz In yellow poppies.

                                                    --Barbara Spring

This poem is not in my book since I just wrote it.
