Summer Turns
by George Held
After weeks of swelter
heat breaks
humidity dips
the breeze stiffens
with sea scent
Roadsides brim
with Queen Anne’s lace
and goldenrod
Monarchs arrive
Apples turn
from toys
into serious fruit
The sun’s slant
heightens color
deepens shade
and I feel the pang
the turn
toward fall can bring
Summer Turns is in George's chapbook GROUNDED, which is listed at www.finishinglinepress.com,
under BOOKSTORE, and also at Amazon.com.
