Summer's End

Silence falls around me Night has settled in Darkness takes the sunlight Wraps its beam within Daytime waits 'til morning Clouds rest in the sky Moon has risen over Wind does hurry by Summer is near ending Autumn drawing fast Memories created Hope that they will last... But the magic interlude That keeps the heat enclosed Seeps away in solitude As if it ne'er had posed This is a re-post ©Copyright Donna Golden July 20, 1999

Love it, Donna. Gives a sort of hear-chill to think of the coming fall. Love, daver

A lovely poem, and I agree it is nice to feel the summer's end so warm and gentle, in the midst of our freezing weather. Love, Shar

Dear Donna It is nice to be reminded of summer during this cold New York winter. I enjoyed this quatrain. Have you read Omar Khayms Rubiyat? It is one of the most famous books of quatrains. I have read quite a bit about it. Hope you keep up the good poetry and thanks for your comments. And yes, I am familiar with that children's rhyme. Sincerely Matthew Anish
