Summertime Erasure
perennials pop
now in progress
succulents
enjoy summer outside.
hummingbirds, bees,
butterflies
a feeding frenzy
over herbs, birds
work on
the seeds.
sage, lavender,
rosemary, thyme.
don’t forget
pretty pansies.

the alliteration and assonance feel like kisses, but why “erasure?”
Erasure as in an erasure poem…I found these words in a text and erased everything in between. I definitely do not want to erase summertime!!
wonderful.. just like flipping the pages of a flower book.
Love these lines “over herbs, birds / for on/the seeds.” They just sound so beautiful. Delightful poem, Chelsie.
I echo what’s been said above. The sounds and the details are wonderful!
