Analysis of Summer Gifts



Summer gifts come in pairs.
Ripened peaches, plump red pears
Juicy yellow-reds, inviting there
Beyond the growing apple branches.
Past the concord grapes
Hanging full on forgotten wire

Cow bells and buzzing bees:
Daydreams turn on clouds;
Indians in tall corn creeping
Like fall across the valley
Summers two gifts:
Coming and
Going.
