Loves of a Summer Day

The sunlight shimmers in the meadow fair, As blades of grass embrace a newborn fawn. Proud blue jays’ shrieking permeates the air. And tree frogs thither serenade the dawn. Young squirrels flounce with acrobatic flare. The children watch; delight hears laughter spawn. Perfection painted by the master’s hand. A prayerful soul finds peace amid the land. © June 7, 2011 Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Form: Ottava Rima Written for Poetry Soup Member Contest: ANY 2,4,6 OR 8 LINE FORM Sponsored by: Brian Strand
