These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Summer Beauty

Beautiful the color floats
through the air, and to our eyes.
Sweetest sounds these color notes
greet us daily, growing in size.

Begonia reds make bright the day.
Smiling hearts can dance around.
Caladiums, their handy way
growing arrow straight to aye abound.

Hostas, ferns, and greenest grass
bring green the honor it deserves.
Daily showers drop and pass,
bringing life to the plants it serves.
