Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Glowing Portrait of Summer

The cloud paints the red sunset in glossed tints 
While a zephyr flits unto a blue sky;
From where I lounge…the hill teems with color
And flowers of the meadows bloom nearby.

Leaves of poppies, geraniums and clovers
Swirl upward to display their varnished frame
With a majestic oak blending lightly;
To sketch a view like a portrait, aflame.

Crops rippling in the breeze grace a moon’s peak
Enchanting hues…lush fragrance down the aisle;
And summer curls around my waltzing limbs
Through quiet of night when stardust beguiles!
