the gardenering

 the gardenering


beyond the deep blue lobelia 

the lavender palely bees

beyond the palely lavender 

the redhead bottlebrushes droop

next to self-same lobelia

the red geranium stands

stalwart above the cat 

who is sleeping lately late

upon yon lengthening sunbeam

that sets hot upon the seat

warm cobbles up these gentle words 


oh july  july

such a lovely blue sky

smiles are all around

butterflies abound

and your bees your bees

gardenering their knees

another year snoozes away
