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.
