Farewell To Summer

Farewell to Summer Fond caresses as two seasons meet in summer’s bliss Autumn bends to fondly leave a farewell harvest kiss; Remembering your long days and cricket singing nights, Evening’s breath beneath clear skies of shooting stars so bright; Washed by waves that dance a jig upon smooth tan beach sands Exquisite diamond tides foam upon the strands; Lovely lady, all dressed up in gossamer sunshine, Leaves the sweetest memories of easygoing days behind. Tomorrow reaches out to gently take her fragrant hand – Overtures of gratitude sprung from nature’s plan; Summer’s gown of greenest greens now redesigned, Umber hues of scarlet silk with thin gold leaf entwined; Midnight moments still buzz and swell just for a little while – Misty veils lifted up reveal her fading morning smile; Enter Autumn, quietly, with colorful embrace Rest now Summer, wrapped in dreams, your sister takes your place. 10-9-20 Contest: Farewell to Summer Title Chosen Seasonal Acrostic Sponsor: Edward Ibeh
