Jeanne Mcgee Poet Acrostic

Farewell To Summer

F  orming leisure into priceless summer memories
     A  round campfires and backyard bar-b-ques
     R  equires little but long days of June’s welcome sunshine
     E  ventful gathering of July’s sunsets in blazing hues
     W  hile we linger to watch the August night ignite the stars
     E  veryone contently wrapped in summers warm cloak
     L  oving week-ends of mountain paths and lakeside swims
     L  uscious scents of roses, lilies and brief gentle rains

     T  ranscends our senses as days fall towards September rites
     O  n summer winds come Autumns chilling quick breath

     S  urrounded with lush gardens of ample harvest baskets
     U  nder umbrellas shaded canopy our final days of vacations
     M  arking the end of summer as we swim against the transition
     M  asking the shorter days with the last pitch of our tents
     E  xperience finally the first fog laced mornings of webs with dew
     R  esisting the final farewell to summer as Autumn colors wave

John Watt October 4, 2020 at 7:31 PM I loved all the summer delights you wove into your tapestry, but particularly the hiking, camping, and lake swimming. But bar-b-ques and stargazing are pretty wonderful too. Farewell, summer! Loved this, Jeanne. Best wishes in the contest, Jeanne Mcgee October 7, 2020 at 6:54 AM Hi John...ahhh, summer and all the special things that we do together...but fall, oh fall with it's blazing trees full of color. We have something to look forward to always. :D
