Notes About The Poem

Summer spells are sweet but fleeting
---------------------------------------------

Intermission

I was dazzled - in
a summer spell - did we both
name it as special?

Was it the summer
freedom - the sparkling lake
that summoned magic?

The constant sun sent
a subliminal message
with its rise and fall.

It won’t last, it said,
there's an expiration
date approaching fast.

The short-lived summer
proved a brief, insubstantial
memory making.

That summoned magic may not be great for making memories, but history shows it is great for making children! Aloha! Rico

Those fleeting moments under the summer sun (or even better, the summer moon) will make memories, substantial memories, that will last a lifetime. I cherish those memories and write about them often. My latest poem recalls such memories.
