Adios, Summer

You brought joy to our longing souls How we cherished thy languid days Thy bright sun and blooming flora And thy life-sustaining showers Yet, thy season was all too brief Winter storms we foresee with dread Oh! How we yearn for thy return Entry for nette onclaud's "Farewell, Summer" Contest (6 September 2019) Rated 2d Place in the contest
