Summertime
Sunbeams gumdrop pixies true
Affectionatly dancing, gingerly tingles upon my skin
Cotton clouds puff, gentle sweet breezes too
Temptingly chasing, as they merrily join in the with jig
The wildflowers and the lilacs overwhelmingly jealous, take their queue
Their aromas intoxicating faeries fun makes my head out of control spin
Backward plunges, Ah…pools, pools
Tall, cool, serene, blades of deep green …amid!
The summer comes alive! Gives nature her due
The splendors, the spoils trapped deep within
Skies swirl, swathe fountains of baby blue
I am the willing accomplice never wanting of ends
Jet streaming buzzes of ebonies and yellowish hues
Butterflies flutter, a tip of the hat, a wink and a nod send
Adulations from the meadows and woodland avenues
Songbirds serenade, sing their hearts content
Weaving ribbons that melody around jitterbugs June
Why next July then August can I only visit these friends?
My backyard paradise, where eagles dare to leave so soon
And the imps of mid season, they pack up the smiles, colors and wilds and travel off to the rainbow’s end
