A Summer Perspective

A SUMMER PERSPECTIVE

Hark this man
Having kin with the sun
This cheery old man
Beloved by everyone

        For instance
In his fancy we find
Benign    distant clouds
That linger
Morphologically in mind

Meeting frozen November
With soul’s special eyes
He conjures wild colors
Warmed spirit as prize

This summer perspective
He keeps yearly round
To cheer and good fortune
His life force is bound

Dave Austin

It's such a fantastic poem! It sure would be wonderful if we took a lesson from this fellow and were happy and cheery. It sure warms your heart when someone is so happy and kind to his fellow man. Loved the poem!

Have been musing about "This cheery old man" with his "Summer Perspective".:) No better way to beat of the blues than to invite a warmer perspective. There'd been a Nature.org. program about cats. Interesting, the wild to the domestic.:)) I'll write to you this week. Missing you, love, Mikki

Another wowzer daver. Stunning. Feeling privileged to read your work. Often too busy caring for my mother who is bed ridden. I have her with me set up in a hospital bed. It's a 24/7 responsibility and a lot of work. A Fav and lots of love my dear friend.

Oh, Dave, I once had an old neighbor like this. I did love him and truly miss him now. I'll always be cheered when I think of him.
