Summer Snowstorm

Summer Snowstorm

Recalling winters chill and icy glow
That lay upon the whitened banks of snow
Your cheeks are bitten to a cherry red
The polar bears and penguins daily stead

The Spring and Fall have mimicked weather’s norm
With Pea and Duffel coats to keep you warm
Foretelling soon the season soon to come
No more for rain to hear its steady thrum

The God of Ra has brightened all our land
The sun has kissed the beaches and the sand 
It’s Summer’s theme and bodies shall be tanned
Just shorts and thongs and others will be banned

Oceans await the surfboards when they soar 
To top waves and beat the sharks to the shore
A season in heat as a snowstorms core
The power of ice  and the power on shore

Lovely poem Ralph. Just beating the sharks to shore, sound like a sport in itself. Have a great day.
