A MOMENT IN SUMMER (Monday Poem)

by Charlotte Zolotow


A moment in summer
belongs to me
and one particular
honey bee.
A moment in summer
shimmering clear
making the sky
seem very near,
a moment in summer
belongs to me.



from The Sky is Full of Song, poems selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins, illustrated by Dirk Zimmer, 1983, Harper& Row
