SUMMER by JENNIE COPPOCK CAFFREY

First Line: SCENT OF NEW - MOWN HAY
Last Line: SICKLE MOON WITH A BRIGHT STAR CUDDLED CLOSE.
Subject(s): SUMMER;

Scent of new-mown hay,
Golden fields of wheat and oats,
Sudden downpour of mud and water
As cloudbursts hit the mountainside;
The pink of wild roses, white of mariposa,
Weary teams down to the creek for water,
Canopy of stars that can almost be touched,
Sickle moon with a bright star cuddled close.
