An August Ago

The stars shone so much brighter, And it was merely one August ago, When carefree hearts were lighter, Before deep gold summer had to go! The wandering birds sang a finale, In the color splashed sunset hour, As bare trees shivered in a valley, And long gone is my scarlet flower!

This is lovely Evelyn. My back yard is a garden where I love to sit in the summer and I have many roses which is my favorite flower. Loved this. God Bless, JB

It's wonderful to have a favorite spot in nature that you can return to again and again. Roses are a favorite of mine, too. We have just gotten some much needed rain. Thank you for the lovely comment. God bless you, too, Evelyn :)

Love the title and its use in your poem! Deep gold summer, the finale, shivering of trees and disappearance of a scarlet flower!

Though I hate August because it is too hot in Malta, I am sure it will come again. And we'll enjoy the beautiful flowers.

This is a marvelous poem, Evelyn, rich in imagery and even metaphor, I think. Good rhymes.
