Lounging lazily on his back yard chaise,
he dozed to the drone of summer.
Dragonflies searching the skies for prey.
Pollen baring bumble bees
changing fragrant flowers to fruit.
Soft breezes rustling trees,
making them lean together
in a whisper of secrets.
Swaying in agreement.
Each contributing its feeling
to the poetry of the season.

I wish the heatwave would break so I could stay outside for more than 5 minutes and actually enjoy the summer that you so beautifully describe.
Beautiful descriptions there, Mr MM. Being stuck in the midst of winter here, it was a wonderful foretaste of summer.

A delightful double-five, double-M!
What a lovely picture and poem! Definitely caught the season. And with your 95 degrees, you do have summer in Portland.
Thank you, MM, for taking the time to dig a little deeper into my blog. Most people never look past the latest 55, and even fewer have 'discovered' my other blogs.
A hammock and a daiquiri would be nice about now.
Oh i can so picture all of this. I'll take this poetry of the season anytime. Great 55. Have a wonderful weekend :)
What a beautiful 55, MM! Makes me want to head outside right now!
You are making me yearn for a hammock.
One Swallow doesn't make a summer - it takes all these things and more.
Great post!
magnificent images,
your words count,
I hear the sound
and smell the sweetness
Cheers!
unbeatable 55.
I love the trees whispering secrets!
You write poetry so beautifully! What a gorgeous picture you painted in this post! :)
This is so beautiful. I love the picture you create in such a slow, drawn out, idyllic way. It has a really light rhythm to it, just like I imagine a lazy summer day would have.
Beautiful
