The Early Summer Cycle
June bugs, midges, dragonflies
Burst upon the scene
When the leaves turn green
Then each and every one, dies
Lacy ferns sprout and unfurl
Purple lilac blooms
Dark thunderstorm looms
In the wind the waves do curl
Bluegills, northern pike, walleye
Spawning beds they clear
Round patches, weeds near
A bald eagle fills the sky
Small green leaves grow to full size
Maples, ash, basswood
Neither bad nor good
Living again is the prize
