Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Blue Skies Reign

Blue skies reign o'er freshly manicured lawns
   Birds chirping merrily hours before dawn

Gentle breezes lifting skirts and tousling hair
   Sprinklers sending water's rainbow-jets here and there

Peonies' lush pink blossoms open wide
   Bluebells and sunflowers line sleepy roadsides

Down by the lake, the water's crystal-clear
   Beams back smiles of those who draw near

Some folks say that cruelty's Mother Nature's way
   I say -- Show them this picture-perfect day in May

Tom Cunningham June 16, 2019 at 12:10 PM They certainly do Gershon, sadly our summer has got off to a very wet start. Nice imagery. Tom Gershon Wolf June 16, 2019 at 5:22 PM Yes. Over here too. Way too much rain. And the temperature's way too cool. Had to wear a warm Autumn jacket today, June 16. Ugh. ~ Gershon
