I Missed :Summer's End Contest: By This Much

goodbye summer goodbye i will miss them so all the flowers in my garden they needed me and that felt right i spoke to the flowers explained to them about the sun about the shade about the showers i will miss them so all the flowers in my garden the days won't be able to hang around as long the nights well they'll be around more but as things stand i have no one no one to kiss in the light of the moon no one to hold beneath the pin lit sky the days won't be able to hang around as long i'll have to roll up the beach I'll have to put it in storage i wouldn't want it to freeze or get seriously bitten by the grip of winter days i've learned by experience even in autumn winter visits here i'll have to roll up the beach i will have to discretely wave my goodbyes to the ocean curls and all of its pearls speak quietly in order to not upset the boardwalk she always cries she hates goodbyes she'll miss her friend her best friend summer i will have to discretely wave my goodbyes no more t-shirts and shorts or barely there swim suits i'm going to really miss the ladies dressed like this i'm going to really miss what they do to my rubber neck yes i confess i am not particularly attracted to parkas no more t-shirts and shorts or barely there swim suits i might as well say good bye now summer i'm not very good at this it makes me sad i should tell you i won't be going to the airport i couldn't stand to watch you leave. i like you here i might as well say good bye now summer i'll help you pack, you'll need the grey clouds the thunder cries the zig zag lightning bolts you'll need some zip lock bags to pack the humidity i've spoken to the birds they're all set to migrate why does every story need to have an end...

I love this one. It's so entertaining to read. you are clever beyond words. Talking to summer as if she were a woman leaving on an airplane! I LOVE summer and miss it so much every year about the time that you must have written this one. I am glad to finally read this , Armand. sorry it looks like you missed the summers' end contest. I'd have given a number one win for it, but then again, in my contests, I always ask for poems less than ten lines. hahaha. Good night and I hope you rest well!
