"It was June, and the world smelled of roses.
The sunshine was like powdered gold over the grassy hillside."
Quote _Maud Hart Lovelace
____________
Oh, it was a beautiful cloudless sunny day, as I wandered a meadow to make a bouquet; all about butterflies were dancing a ballet, and I was dazzled by the song of a blue jay ! To a rippling stream I went on hearing a song, and there a man sang a tune beautiful and strong; his heavenly voice mingled with each wild birdsong, and I stayed with him just talking all that daylong ! It would be a summer dalliance dulcet sweet, his ethereal kisses made me overheat; on gossamer threads I floated to our heartbeat, we were on a labyrinthine path bittersweet ! On the last day we found a lagoon secluded; and wept murmurous whispers of love concluded ! ____________________ May 5, 2021 Poetry/Sonnet/A Summer Dalliance Copyright Protected, ID 05-1352-721-05 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Summer Love Sonnet sponsor, John Hamilton, Judged 05/24/2021 Third Place
