Awesome bright wonder
Jupiter and Venus shine
Lighting the deep night.

Summertime garden
Flowers so bright and cheerful
Refreshing the soul.

Big Bluestem prairie
Wind racing through wildflowers
Sea of grass flowing.

Early morning sun
Casting golden glowing light
Dewy grass sparkles.

Fresh corn-on-the-cob
Sweet golden and white kernels
Tasting of summer.
