Green to soft purple

Sweet velvet gems adorn tree

Summer’s figs are ripe

Beneath summer’s watchful eye, ripened figs have abundantly bloomed

from bud to fruit, and filled the sturdy branches of the fig tree that sway to

the summer breezes.  A summer garden’s fruitful sight that inspired this

Summer’s Figs Haiku by Marie Helen.  Enjoy the poem everyone, and hope

you can take some time to enjoy the beautiful moments in nature

throughout these summer days!
