Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is summer.
Today’s poem is a calendar poem about the ecstatic joy of summer.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Summer is the zenith of
the year:
Upward
spring, sweet summer, downward fall.
Maybe
life sings like sun-drunk cicadas,
Music
drowning beds of squash and taters,
Each tiny
creature pouring out its call,
Rejoicing in the
joy of now and here.
