Kelly Deschler Poet Rhyme

A More Gentle Sun

Storms are passing with
The heat I could not stand,
The days drag on so slow as
Summer's flames were fanned

Winds calmed the burn
Yet it lingered there,
As stubborn as ever
Hanging on in the air

Just when I thought
That I was truly done,
Then came the rain
And a more gentle sun.

Sotto Poet August 24, 2026 at 4:52 AM Kelly, your poem beautifully captures the transition from harsh heat to a more soothing climate. Your imagery of storms and the calming influence of wind and rain creates a vivid atmosphere that many can relate to. The gentle sun at the end offers a comforting closure. Great job!

Alison A Smith nee Howarth August 23, 2026 at 8:26 PM A refreshing seasonal poem that captures the welcome relief after oppressive summer heat. Its gentle rhyme and clean quatrains move naturally from discomfort to renewal, and the final image of rain followed by “a more gentle sun” leaves a calm, hopeful impression.
