A Trio of Summer Poems.

Don’t cry Caterpillar by Grace Nichols

Don’t cry Caterpillar

Caterpillar, don’t cry

You’ll be a butterfly - bye and bye

Caterpiller, don’t cry

Don’t worry bout a thing

‘But ‘ said the Caterpillar,

‘Will I still know myself  - in wings?

Moonlight, Summer Moonlight by Emily Bronte.

‘Twas moonlight, summer moonlight.

All soft and still and fair;

The silent time of midnight

Shine sweetly everywhere.

But most where trees are sending

Their breezy boughs on high,

Or stooping low and lending

A shelter from the sky.

The Rain by May Justus.

The rain has silver sandals

For dancing in the spring

And shoes with tassels

For summer frolicking.

Her boots have hobnails

Of ice from heel to toe

Which now and then she changes

For moccasins of snow.
