American Summer


Cotton clouds for miles,
Not a brighter white in fresh washed linens.
The sky blue streaks and rolls
Like spilling paint inside a globe.
The clouds jump to and fro
Bubbling like water in a pot,
Creating shapes for imaginations play
Til gentle winds shoo them away.
Below sits fields of endless wheat
Where summer sun turns brown to green,
While red bricks curve winding paths
That lead from doors across the grass
To front gates' open arms
In a small American town.
