Sensuous
moments remembered
when azalea bush blushed,
flooding back yard with her naked scent
and pool of purple hues.

Summer Days
by Elsie Hagley

Summer days
Blue sky few white clouds
it’s time to be at the beach
Apply sun lotion so skin won’t burn
Bright red.

Run care-free
in the summer sun
dance among the buttercups
remember the days when you were young
Yellow
