I Recall One Summer

I recall the river Wharfe, black crows caw Swaying meadows dance to opulent breeze, To wander within summer’s clothes she wore And merging clouds the canopy to tease When rain on nature’s cloak does gently please. I recall fields of jade in sun lit dew The summit of the Beacon’s striking view, To taste the odours of woodland rambles Witness the swallows beneath skies of blue While wood mice wait of fruit laden brambles. Entered Dizain Poetry Contest Sponsor Sotto Poet Theme Summer written 22/10/2022

You are a poet of gold sitting next to silver, and the sun, ell the sun belongs to you today. Rays of light inside your soul, happiness your only goal. Have a precious day Harry *
