Choreographed Grass

Ferns out my window
As if I planted them there
Spread out their green arms.


My rhododendrons
Sing "Halleluia" at sun,
Spreading purple light.


Lilacs are over;
Purple replaced by brown cones.
(I saw a daisy.)


Field of timothy
Waves slowly in the soft breeze;
Choreographed grass.


Yellow and purple
Decorate fences and fields
Against the green plain.


Prehistoric leaf;
Big enough for dinosaur
To bend down and eat.


A time of shadows,
A gift of the blazing sun;
The heat and the shade.


Even its hard shell
Cannot protect the turtle
From the rushing car.
