It’s June, and what a great time to think about June visitors.
June Visitors
I watch tiny orbs
as floral buds swell.
First pea-sized marbles sprout
then expand to walnut sizing.
All the while the worker ants
snake on ballooning spheres.
Cycling networks of delight
Feast on sticky treats.
Sweet feed for their families
drip down succulent rounds of green.
Buds burst in the moment.
Petals show off pink satin that unfurls.
Fragrance intoxicates,
beauty musically exquisite.
Voracious visitors expose magnificence,
peony ecstasy.
Armies of ants return home
to feed their families
and defend their farm while
singing birds prime summer.
June visitors.
