At Summer’s End

Bye bye butterflies with kaleidoscope wings Floating on white air inspiring indigo dreams Bye to blue birds who will magically migrate Bye to deer and herds of animals who hibernate Bye to the green leaves kissing my corneas Tall trees dancing blue breeze I so love Bye to summer clothes and barely there shorts To fresh spring sunscreen and riding summer horse Bye to the summer sun and it’s orange rays Bye to the times and memories we made

We miss many things as summer bids adieu. We miss the flowers and butterflies. We say goodbye to shorts and summer clothes. Well said, Karen. Love these couplets.

Hi Karen, if this sweet summer gem is for the contest, my very best wishes. As a youth I always lamented the end of summer. Blessings

Loss of summer is a time of change, as your poem describes. I enjoyed reading this poem.

The fourth stanza my favorite, Karen. A sweet summer's end, we'll kiss good-by, then welcome Autumn :)

It has not even started here in the UK... Not seen even one butterfly and hardly any bees... It is the middle of July and all it does is rain... great poem from you though..
