Summers Day

Another summers day They all came out to play Skirt a swaying Bodies glistening Fertile fields of exuberance And with every chirpy call And a shriek shrill Came a muffled reply And I say it's Summers day How did it get so hazy How did it get so high I smelt it in the air I saw it in the mist Leisurely strolls and lovers trysts The birds charming the trees The nectar inviting the bees As I recline in padded pastures Feeling the beats of earths drum In timely rhythms of an accompanying heat Listening to salient echoes of pattering feet The fragrant air do I greet And as the sun smile does recede An encore from its pursuing friend Rises a cosmic of the east Enticing a good nights sleep First a half smile ,then a glint But in dutiful pursuit it rises Then atop in glory, its beauty shun Nocturne among shadowy masks To traverse in pursuit of a lost cause A sojourn in timeless tasks Homage to mother natures call A humble servant , you may say But a hero I may recall

Excellent wrting. Particularly use of terms at the end: nocturne, sojourn, homage. Also, thanks for your wonderful comments on my "To Market, To Market."
