A Poem, Lovely As a Summer Day
Summer thoughts arrive and soon I glide away behind a dream
scribbling in the sand poetic words as I sit beside the stream
watching children play aside sandcastles tall as bastle forts
I capture every smile and laughter rising up with sweet escort
beneath a sky of rosy quartz I ease, content as a poet in love
words flow out and flap away like happy wings on a turtle dove
Wading pools, barking dogs, ice cream trucks with jingles, a refresh
ablaze with summer heat I scribe beside the water tanned enmeshed
Taken in by the fragrance of a moment, I get lost aside the sea
scratching at the surface of a written verse that only I can see
I am the composer of this love letter, down the river of joy it glides
sailboat fantasies arrive and before I know it, I'm on the other side.
