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 10-3-2020 Farewell to Summer Pick-A-Title, Vol 23 - Seasonal Acrostic - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh
