Summer

 

Summer


 

This glorious time of year

grace is in bloom, divine

spindles gleam

by golden beam

waltz, waltz June fairies

from dandelion to lofty pine.

 

Off on a stroll above meadows

scented wisps, a tryst, oh my

sandalwood, sweet

fair mulberry treat

swoon, swoon ethereal swans

into the mild, evening light, of July.

 

Stirring for summer's farewell

frail wonders, tulips, up high

butterflies pair

with delicate flair

steady, steady August delights

primroses await your slumbering sigh.

 

 


~ Luther Lynton Seahand ~

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

 

George Winston's Summer Album is quite inspiring. That and Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, 1st movement.

Wonderful! I felt the summer breeze and etherial romp in a glorous summery day as lilting as a Shakespearian love verse only sweeter.

Really Great!

I decided to listen to some of George Winston's Summer album while reading this.  Nothing but the best from Mr. Seahand.  Whimsically Wonderful!

The Sonata

is my favorite - haunting, I listen to it on LP. "...butterflies pair..." I watch them fly around each other across the back yard - nice catch. Something new to read over and over - thank you for the poem Old Sea Salt - loveitalot! With gratitude, Stella
