Ode To Summer Days (For Beautiful Form Contest Sponsored By: Catie Lindsey)

Ode to Summer Days Oh summer days, thy laughter, children playing, Thee, from whom sorrows fly and joys blossom, Are singing, like angels with smiling eyes gleaming, Savory sweetness released before autumn, Prevalent giggles multiplied in thee, Who coloreth each new day bright and gladsome. Delightful squeals, escape young souls and float Upon the wings of heaven carried dreams Forever singing songs young poets wrote. Thy splashing fish spawn light into daydreams. Making young boys who dare to cast their nets Seek lively views and honor bestowed gleams. Oh summer, which in precious love begets Sweet pleasures ever-growing sings duets. © © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen May 30, 2010 Poetic Form: Terza Rhima
