Farewell To Summer

Fabulous is summer’s zeal, rustling its vibrant appeal Allured by song of robins, warbling from willow trees Rhapsodic in revelry of frolicking shamrock prairies Enticing lovers’ exuberance waltzing on ocean breeze Where sandy footprints amble, exuding playful hints Eagerly invoking love through kindled vibes of fantasies Luxuriating on beaches, reminiscing sensual musings Longingly indulging in smitten hearts’ fervent dreams Tantalized by multicolored choreography of monarchs Orbiting scented blossoms, articulating random dance Seduced by fiery vistas invoking passions of romance Ubiquitous in changing colors beckoning advent of fall Meticulously browning fields where cattle lazily graze Mesmerized in twilight blaze, scintillating orange-red Ebulliently painting horizon in decaying crimson glaze Ruminating autumn’s brilliance in summer’s farewell October 8, 2020 Placed 1st: Pick-A-Title, Vol 23 – Seasonal Acrostic – Poetry Contest Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Title chosen: Farewell to Summer

A wonderful acrostic poem ! Beautiful medley of fantastic images... All the images used are stunning especially the one in the following lines..... "Tantalized by multicolored choreography of monarchs Orbiting scented blossoms, articulating random dance" This goes into my Fav.

I don't think I've ever read an acrostic that has such beautiful descriptions and great flow, Vijay. If I were judging, it would be hard to beat this entry. Especially love the reference to fall's "fiery vistas." Just keep writing faves, Vijay. My collection of your work just keeps expanding. Hugs, Carolyn
