Cup of Summer
Blue-eyed grass hides
shy beside path
Flowers smaller than dimes
agree to open
when sun is high
Their fragile tenacity
pointed-petal simplicity
need no watering
mulching weeding
But without them
my cup of summer
would be cracked
and chipped
its pattern scratched
and faded

Very nice. Especially like “pointed-petal simplicity.”
The rhythm in the last few lines is superb.
beautiful… have a great night…
My cup of summer <3
