Late Summer Morning

Resting gently its colorful wing
What if a butterfly could sing
Sleeps the bumble bee in the grass
Waiting for the night to pass
Shining like a blazing gem
Marches a beetle down a stem
Hovering and buzzing near the shed
A dragonfly zigs and zags ahead
Dangling patterns in the breeze
A spider weaves a web with ease
Casting shadows on the ground
Billowing clouds all around
Here comes the rising sun
Another late summer day has begun

My kind of poem!! Any poem that has Butterflies - Dragonflies and all God's critters is my kind of poem.

Thanks for sharing this late summer poem. I love to hear the August nighttime bugs singing their way from night to morning!
