SUMMER MEMORIES
by Rachelle Arlin Credo
Restless winds blow tree leaves
Strewing them on the ground with wisps
The sweltering heat crawls all over
Like a plague of locusts in September

In the splash of wave and warmth of breeze
Squirrels scamper across from tree to tree
Climbing up and down like chimpanzees
For nuts to scrounge and corn cob kernels

Mockingbirds and sparrows flit about
While buttercups exude their wildest hues
The wind caresses in undulating grace
The hushing leaves of piñon pine trees

The cry of chirping thrushes
Resonate the song of nature's bliss
As gleaming spires of lemongrass
Proclaim it's genealogic class

Tide of memories sweep the heart
Of love and lovers fallen apart
As summer memories held so dear
Overhelm a soul inured to tears
