Summer Nights

by Cherub Madden

Amber colors the evening sky sunset pink over lingering blue
Silver-laced clouds with swirling tangerine beards and big bulging bellies
nap in vista hammocks that shadow the shore
Snowy plovers playfully whistle “tur-weet,” chasing a sunbeam’s
golden retreat
Bright little kisses dot the twilight sky and darkness reaches out
as it spies the awakening moon’s smiling eyes
Straw-colored sea oats snug in their beds
whisper “shh” as the wind shifts and blows noisily by
Furry white knuckles tuck into the shore
as pearl-capped waves roar out a mariner’s tale
full of salt and the sea
and blue-green mermaids with confetti-colored shells in their hair.
