Swallows hug the turf

darting with great precision

past rails and fences.

It really has been rather lovely weather

.

When it rains again

we’ll forget these sunny days;

fickle memory.

Swifts

 

Familiar screech

decorating whitened skies;

a British summer.

Heaven on Earth

 

The maker made Earth,

kept a little bit aside

and left it for me.

Showers

 

August continues

where July left off, frontal

weather stream remains.

Sandwiches

 

Summer in full swing;

office workers lunch in parks

and pigeons look on.

Summer interrupted (for a day)

 

Let the sun shine in

or at least a cloudy sky;

break in dry weather.

 

by Scooj

Parched

 

Long dry Summer days

sucking moisture from the earth;

new cracks in the lawn.

Bee bar

 

Buzzing honey bees

guzzle fresh sweet nectar from

marjoram flowers.

Horseradish

 

A small snail anchors

atop a shimmering sea

of emerald green.
