Night falls whispering.

Ancient cicada voices

Embrace summer moon.

~ Linda Griggs

Sailing swallowtail,

Translucent rainbow of light

Brightens hazy day.

~ Linda Griggs

Lakeside sentinels,

Slender stalks spiking skyward.

Wind waves undulate.

~ Linda Griggs

Sultry summer breeze.

Warm fingers caress my face.

Jasmine scented eve.

~ Linda Griggs

Snowflakes dance wildly,

Whipping, whirling with the wind.

Winter rhapsody.

~ Linda Griggs

Sun’s warmth on my back,

Soothing away winter chill,

Icy mantle melts.

~ Linda Griggs

Trees sway in the wind

Slowly the leaves start to drop

Fall has now begun.

The tundra is warm,

The Arctic is freezing cold.

My chin is chilly!

Fun in the Arctic,

I like the warm summer sun

Glowing in my face.

Summer time is good,

Lots of food for caribou.

Babies like the sun.

~ Casey (third grade)

Below zero, brrrr.

It is a beautiful place.

I like the Arctic.
