A Gathering Of Gogyohka

dip a toe
into sunlight
retreat!
it's still
too hot

warm night
five frogs
on lily pads
sing songs
to fireflies

five princess swans
bow their heads
to five frog princes
and pay homage
with waterlilies

caroler of dawn
summer rain
sings softly
over butterfly wings
and sage leaves

with a curtsy
i accept
summer's invitation
to dance
in his warmth

midnight heat
heavy with moisture
so thick and stifling
even the crickets
are silent

sharing secrets
while wishing
on dandelions
and weaving
friendship bracelets
