in sudden summer

[fledgist]

these storms have turned the world all green

and sunlight limns the leaves in gold

no time today to chide or scold

 

we look and smile the birds all preen

while eager hunters become bold

these storms have turned the world all green

 

for beauty we have set the scene

a story known and often told

that hearts are broken and consoled

these storms have turned the world all green
