Roses named Honor and Grand Dame,
are blush and prickly this summer
The scent reminds you that the peaches need picking and will be succulent in their sweet and tender way
The Pomegranate tree is still shedding her orange skirt, worth a thousand rubies in the wind
Summers are oblivious to the sweat and blood of the gardner digging deep to soften their beds and undisturbed rest
One small turtle is basking
in the sun before swimming slowly in the fountain and imagining his love for the waterlilies
while feeding from their roots
in a seemingly gentle way
The garden’s lizard swiftly steals
the dead bees who took
secret life powder
from flower to flower
All in different speeds and colors with the intention to die and to bloom
For summers rise to feast

Hmmm. It’s a first place Team and maybe I could be first off the bench? Lately, it’s been two minutes at a time v
LOL, Do you watch the NBA drafts? They are all next level! I recently published a rap lyrics from three years ago, might I be ask you to take a look (Midlife Rap.) I know that you enjoy hip-hop-I tried to enter that realm with caution and the regard it was meant for…
For certain. I did giggle fir a sec. I devour the NBA draft. It might be just after the a Super Bowl on my list of favorite single day events.
Michael Jordan and Miles Davis secretly, I think, guide most of my every thoughts. Intensity and Excellence. BTW, I pretty much can name the college attended by ninety percent of NBA players since like 1970. I’m not even discouraged that several woman included their disdain for that particular penchant in their diatribe delivered in the day they left me. l
True story.
How peculiar to not be inspired by such degree of passion and love for the game! Yet we still live to tell tales, with such fervor, keep sharing poet friend!

Thank you esteemed poet peer! Nature gives great lessons of dialectics of life and death, Beaty and decay. I attempt to capture that in words and I’m relieved that this poem spoke to you-
