Short and Swift

Summer
late arrival
cooler than usual
sun timidly peeking through clouds
soon gone

Dear, if you come to visit me, you will have about 9 months of summer. It gets old fast, but I can appreciate the angst in this delightful cinquain. Excellent work, Joyce. Love, Carolyn

I love summer. I don't want it to go. Your poem is very motivating. I feel like I must get out and do more before it's gone! Nicely done!!!!

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it. You have written from your soul oh yes you have. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry with us Joyce. Love, Carol
