Poem Title:
Poem
The screen door droops lazily, slightly ajar Crickets croon lullabies, heard from afar Kid’s sticky faces, betray ice-cream bars All on a summers eve Legs peel off chairs, from the sticky, wet heat Rocking chairs sway, creaking out restless beats Mosquitoes, they feast upon my grass-stained feet All on a summers eve Young lovers strip down, kissing perchance to swim As jealous moon watches, and sunset grows dim The sand dunes heat up, begging for skin on skin All on a summers eve Bold daisies flirt, nodding their modest heads, Ivory faced roses blush, burning them red Tiny seeds toss, and then shoot from their beds All on a summers eve Butterflies tease, as they flit-flutter by Somewhere a windowsill holds fresh baked pie Magic is born within jars of fireflies All on a summers eve Wild, woodland faeries dance in faerie rings Children will grin, picking flowers to bring, to Their surprised mothers, whose thankful hearts sing All on a summers eve Fishes gaze warily at worm-hooked poles Marshmallows roast above fiery coals Keen mother horses watch boisterous foals All on a summers eve Impatient winds blow, making love to the trees Zephyrs entice; then enrage the calm seas While lilies and hyacinths bewitch the breeze All on a summers eve Love will be found, and remembered, and made Peace is a book, an old tree and its shade Summer to me, tastes like cold lemonade All on a summers eve So, come with ye, summer; be gone snow and sleet! I long to feel grass on the soles of my feet And jump in the river as suns rays retreat All on a summers eve Shared 2nd place winner in Karen Neary's Summer Enchantment Rhymed poetry contest. Thank you!!!
