Inspirational Poetry of Connie Arnold

©Gary Strader

The artistry of summer is graced by blooming flowers,

Their colors and aromas have intoxicating powers.

A warm breeze carries the perfume in the air

Of roses, honeysuckle and others here and there.

The morning glories open with the rising of the sun

And four-o'clocks indicate when day is almost done.

From the morning when flowers are wet with dew

Until the evening darkness, they provide a lovely view.

Hollyhocks, geraniums and hydrangeas too

Create a masterpiece of pink, red and blue,

While sunflowers, daisies and marigolds grow

With a bright golden touch to add to the show.

What delight flowers offer on a warm summer day,

As petunias, phlox and zinnias brighten up our way;

The colorful display of the Master gardener's art

Brings delight to the senses and gladdens the heart!
