Tree Swallows Dip and Dive

Thick Steamy Air PUSHES AGAINST my chest. Red Roses weave between the porch rails. Cardinals on Redbud Branches & Meadowlarks on the Plum Trees Praise The LORD. Sweat Beads down my back. Roosters Crow. The Canaan Lilies Strech High in the Sky Towards the Hot Sun. Rock Doves on the Smokehouse Roof & Turtle Dove on the barb wire Chant Prayer. A Bumble Bee Buzzes to each Canaan Lilies. Male Bob Whites whistle & STRUT puffing out Their Plume Feathers. A Black & Blue Swallow Tail Butterfly Tends to the Tiger Lillies. A Mockingbird drinks from a Magnolia Leaf. Rappers & Empty Seed Pods fall from the magnolia Trees; The New Blooms' Tickles my SOUL! Tree Swallows dip & dive inches from the Limbs and the Large White Flowers. Saddlebag Dragonflies flit above the Crepe Myrtle. Purple Finches Chatter as they gather weighing down Branches. Hot Pink Crepe Myrtle Blooms Twirl into the Grass. Another Round of dark Gray Puffy Clouds Roll from the West. A Woodstar zips about the Weeping Willow Feeding on the entangled Ivy Straws. Faint Thunder echoes.Wood Beetles dig in the Pine Straw. Buffed Bellied Humming Birds Hover to each Ploxe Flower. Althea Blooms open. Rufous-Sided Towhees rummage in the Leaves under the Big Magnolia Tree. Cows moo in the Distance. Thunder Rumbles to the West. Summer Tanagers in the Peach Trees & Chustnut Munia sing a Bluegrass Gosple Song. Gentle Sprinkles Kiss. A Blot Strikes ; the Ground Quakes.
