green leaf shade refuge
small creatures scurrying there
secret safe harbor
natural summer shelter
mother nature’s hideaway
***
first firefly seen
delightful darting creature
tiny lights shining
a serene respite pleasure
summer evening garden
***
spring rainy season
thunder claps a harsh warning
icy hail pounding
rescue delicate flowers
cover the beginning buds
