The neighborhood is turning
into a brilliant display of pinks, reds,
and lavender.
Every year I am surprised by the display.
How do I forget from one year to another?
On the front porch there is blooming
a bromeliad that I have been watching for 5 years.
Hot red is the color of this sun impatient-
just setting fire to a pot of blooms.
So many pretty flowers
to view in the garden in August.
I deadheaded the phlox
and it is back again.
But, I know by the night sounds
that summer is waning.
That is a bit sad, of course.
Bloom well dear plants, bloom well.
The days are getting shorter.
