Farewell Summer Poetry Contest Nette Onclaud

Farewell Summer Poetry Contest
Nette Onclaud
9 September 2019

Ahhh my favorite subject

But sadly for me you can not miss
what you never had

When exactly was it Summer
Those 3 decent day's in June

Summer is now officially over
Autumn is here the month September

And the Clocks are due to go back 
next month end of October

And all there is to look forward to

Is another desolate Winter 

In the hope next year will be better
secretly you know it probably won't

Just another sorrowful Farewell

Much like loosing a loved 1

But less fair

Nothing positive or nice about
Autumn or Winter

It's hard to Picnic after Summer

It takes far 2 many layers of clothing

And it's hard to keep the food warm

Only upside i can possibly think of

Is deciding what to put in the hip flask

To warm the cockles of your heart

When the wind the leaves are a blowing

Your hands and feet are both cold through

And you long to be sat in front of a log fire

Wishing you were saying 

Farewell Winter 
Not
Farewell Summer

not bad...I love Winter. But heck, we never really have Winter over here. I guess with all the grey and sleet, and snow over there, being locked into Winter could be made Summer and magik, if you had the best person by your side to fire the old log fire up...sending good karma your way Flaherty. Good luck for a win...life's a competition.

You said it that's exactly it my Mate. Summer in Liverpool is 3 month's of mostly grey rainy day's not unlike Spring , Autumn and Winter. Only the temperature seems to change. Maybe it's because i grew up in Joburg i miss Summer so much. Life seems more a series of tests than a competition

Winter is long and cold and hard - summer is warm and sunny and inviting, but all seasons are necessary for the circle of life to complete it's cycle. Interesting write Christopher. Hugs, jennifer.
