Delight

when red roses

with velvety petals

flaunt their beauty with such great flair

while across the yard regal lilac bush

sways ever so gently in the breeze

scenting the warm summer air

with tempting sweetness

butterfly's

Bliss

By Y. M. Roger

Fairies
Flit through the air

Enhancing the vibrant show
You?ll never forget
Dancing with
Sprites!
