Poppies

Poised poppies

petals pursed

Seminal seeds 

spilled

And burst

 upon

hairy pods

to die

of

thirst

Well Fair Summer farewell

Quote by John Keats:- "i almost wish we were butterflies and lived but three summer days - three such days with you i could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain" 

one word is a seed

from which many

could grow

thoughts spring

like weeds

from which i

could sow

wild rambling prose

or poems with

rhyme

but summer like

the rose

fades with time
