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! Summer Love Sonnet Contest Sponsor: John Hamilton 5/16/2018 Checked via www.howmanysyllables.com

"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!
