Summer Rispetto

Summer Rispetto In blazing glory Summer ascends her throne, crowned by Mother Nature with titian blue sky. Sunshine sparkles on waterfalls like rhinestone; and robin redbreasts teach baby chicks to fly. Fields aglow with mantles of joyful jonquils, and brooks blissfully babble through green foothills. Balmy zephyrs drift dreamily murmuring, “How sweet … but soon Summer will be sweltering!” 07-19-2018 Contest: Picture Me A Summer Rispetto Poetry Contest Sponsor: Barry Stebbings Placement: 2nd

Oh, is that last line ever true, Pandita! When waxing eloquent on summer's pleasures, we so often forget the sweltering, lifeless, curtain of humidity which descends (in August where I am, in Chicago). … Congrats on your well-deserved win. Best wishes, Gershon
