“Linden Tree” — C.Birde, 8/16
Stay…
Linger beneath the linden —
that tree of bees
and heart-shaped leaves.
We’ll spread a blanket
in restless shade
over the drowsing heads
of sweet clover,
and name the birds’
erratic patterns
scrawled across the sky.
Together, we’ll drift
as Summer slips
us by.

Lovely photo and the poem delights. I especially like the rhymes in the first few lines and the last four. I hope that you are getting time to enjoy what you have described so well.

Thank you 🙂 Yes, I found the time to enjoy our lindens…I may have lingered a trifle longer than I intended 😉
