Glory of Summer

A fleck of wheat along the bay A quiver in the grass, While daybreak shifts and ripples on To mirror clouds that pass. Warm breezes drift among the trees, So calming to my ear And only wistful eyes can seize This dreamy atmosphere. Then stars lend glitter to the night To beam upon the dew, Which fondles passion with glazed charm As lovers thrill anew. A time to dance, a time to grasp The heart of summertime-- And nothing else to break the flow Of moments quite sublime ! 2019 Poetry Marathon Mile 22 Poetry Contest Re-submitted 3/04/2019 8/6/8/6 rhyme scheme

I am always in a hurry for summer to pass, but your words make me wonder what is the rush. "A time to dream, a time to grasp"

The beauty of your Poem splashes beyond words in expressing the charms of Summer time. I wrote a Song on 'Summer Days Are Coming' and you too can hear it on my Music Channel on You Tube "RavindraKK1". Your Poem is extraordinarily beautiful and it goes as a favorite of mine dear friend. I give you 10 out of 7. Love this one it is more like a Song. Great one and my best wishes for your contest entry. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra K Kapoor
