Prompt Words: hummingbird, lilacs, poppies, echo, breeze, lace, picnic, field
Hummingbird dance in the morning sun
scattering laughter everywhere,
while lilacs release their scent on the breeze
reminding me to say a silent prayer.

Summer is passing,
and autumn approaches.
I listen to bird song echo
last call for for a picnic in the park.

I sigh,
visualize a field of poppies in bloom,
and wish
for a headscarf of white lace
like the one Aunt Pearl
wore to church
the Sunday before Labor Day.
