Summer's End Where did our warm and lovely summer go? It seems just yesterday her days came slow. We waited for our winter's frigid clime to bow, give way to spring's rebirthing time. With patient hearts, spring's May arrived in style and surely made our summer wait worthwhile. Now here is August at late summer's door with faded greens and shorter days in store. Trees soon will heed the fall's cool days and call to spread her burnished red-gold colored shawl. Why does our summertime go by so fast? Long waited for, it never seems to last. Within a wink, her days are gone and done, to let new seasons follow rule of Sun. Sandra M. Haight ~9th Place~ Contest: Couplet Time Sponsor: Rick Parise Judged: 08/27/2016

Sandra. I have written of this same theme time and time again. I feel this time of year so acutely and the melancholy will soon be setting in! I am just a summer baby. That is why I like this poem

Thank you, Andrea, for your supportive comment. Yes, it is melancholy when summer's beauty is so short lived. Hopefully, we'll have long, mild fall. Hugs, Sandra
