Peach Sangria Summer

Scents mingle; phlox, lilac, jasmine etching June,
evening tingles neath shimmer of shooting star.
Aromas' rhythmic breathing below blond moon
held on breeze's ripple - please don’t go afar…

Dream's moonstone is reasoned in cream afternoon,
adularescent blue tones season memoir.
Days lazy, lost lulling red raspberry rhyme,
gaze hazy, mulling sangria summertime.

What a beautiful poem, Susan! First you keep refilling our glass with summer sangria, appealing to our senses with captivating colours and aromas...then, once intoxicated, you lull us into a world of hazy dreams. I suppose you are not against a tasty drink followed by a lovely siesta:) ~ Warm regards // paul

Oh, I am all for a tasty drink followed by a lovely siesta! :) Your appreciation for my poem just really warms my heart. I remember sitting in my back yard one afternoon last summer writing this, thinking about how lovely the summer evenings are. I'm so happy to know you enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your amazing thoughts with me. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan
