Farewell, au revoir, goodbye, convivial summer.  The day is late now, and the breeze is warmer.  A vacant ocean-side barricaded motel.  Wild geese are soon flying in lines as well. Vacation homes drop their literate barricades.  This rich sweeping green tone will soon fade.  In this season, buds and fruits are abundant.  Melons and garden load are ardent. Tanned skin, sailboats, and folded linen suits.  When the world is more positive than disputes,  Pollen irritates the sinuses of sensitive patients.  Now they've fled to the farm, the coast nascent. Stop their passing endeavor at escape. The Ferris wheel in LEGOLAND is agape.  The Cape no longer trades in quirkiness.  A glum family descends from the murkiness.  To welcome their offspring back from camp.  Mature year, scarlet maple boughs, raised scamp.  Sunburned shoulders disappear at summer's end.  Goodbye to the peasant's headband. Goodbye storms and dirty white shoes.  Goodbye summer friends, pants, shorts, and cruse. Farewell, tennis peculiar desire to be difficult.  Farewell picnics, ice tea, and plane trips, munificent.

Much enjoyed this beautiful ode to summer you wrote, Lasaad. Every line a celebration of summer in superb imagery that brings forth revelry. A FAVE from me for this heartfelt farewell.
