Queen Anne’s lace fringes
the edges of long green lawn
ruffling with the breeze.
Bees and butterflies,
yellow, black, red, orange, blue,
ride the gentle swells.
Crickets and cicada
chirp and thrum in concert with
chickadee and finch.
Apple, pear, and locust
branches bob, leaves rustle
in flickering sunlight.
