Summer

The stars with the greater light and lesser light Have just about faded as purple lies Blanket like on horizon, death's fog's plight Soon as sun comes atop trees, across sky flies The crickets sing for joy this morn, click-clack It is so steady that they must get tired Wonder when do they rest? Food they don't lack For it is summer, grass they can acquire The fog that on the creek did lie has spread It's tinacles reaching across woods and vale The moisture coats the air, even our beds Making the heat of the day like a veil Summer with its heat and humidity Summer has us in its grip almighty (The sun rose fireball red again_it is going to be another hot one)

Summer in Florida can be pretty brutal... temps in the high 90's with steamy humidity. Your poem hits home with me! Fine rhyming, cadence and imagery. Well done, Sara!! Best wishes, Keith :)
