Broadcasting Orange

Warm but not too hot

Very first day of summer;

Still, the cars swish by. 

Warm inside, warm out;

Summer pleasure in the air--

A restful waiting.

Tiger lilies grow

Wild at the side of my stream,

Dropped from the fire sky.

A jumble of kids

In the dark of the mid day,

Quiet as shadows.

Two black eyed Susans

Grow together in the field

Broadcasting orange.

Forest of dead trees

Spring up along the roadside

Pretending to live
