Nette Onclaud Poet Sonnet

Ecstasy In Summer

Pinpoints of wild  rosette deepen the view
Into a field where blossoms flaunt their shade;
When August basks to  grace our passion anew
Imbuing  laced ecstasy …   a rich brocade.

In fragrant whiffs renewing  thrill of hours
Mild the sunset , bolder the lustrous tints
While we caress   kiss    glide on sky’s towers--
To lend our ardent  love  its flamed imprints.

Gently,  dusk comes in earthen-colored flight
Till you stutter warm lines … begging for  my hand:
O  fireflies  gleam  in riots of delight,
A vow enkindling such pious demand.

From the raging wake of a  new moon’s  shine
I  quiver    to praise blest summer, divine!

Lyric Man May 18, 2018 at 10:55 AM "O fireflies gleam in riots of delight" I came back to read that line in a poem with so many. I grew up in a home that backed up to two large farms. Our summers were amazing as we'd sit on the deck or run and play in the fields.. and look over the vast expanse of evening sky where fireflies did indeed, gleam in riots of delight!
