Delight
when red roses
with velvety petals
flaunt their beauty with such great flair
while across the yard regal lilac bush
sways ever so gently in the breeze
scenting the warm summer air
with tempting sweetness
butterfly's
Bliss

Evening Performance
By Y. M. Roger
Fairies
Flit through the air

Of effulgent streaks and glitter

Tonight, the crickets and frogs join in
Enhancing the vibrant show
You?ll never forget
Dancing with
Sprites!
