Notes About The Poem

Summer

*
Sol
Rising
In the east,
A golden orb
That illuminates
To herald a new day,
Families gather outdoors
In the countryside or beaches
Enjoying picnics and barbecues
In the beautiful season of summer.

"Beautiful season of summer"! The wildest of seasons! The overjoy of the heart and the hibernation of the mind, as I see it! So wonderful all the souvenirs now I have of many a summer of a primetime! So beautiful and cheering what you have depicted in poetic words, from and feelings! Thank you so much, Tom for adding a lot of Beauty to the world of poetry!

I do love your umbrella shaped poem with the summery illustration. Life gives us so much with just the seasonal changes. Thanks for commenting on my short story, “Waiting for Scraps.” Purely fictional -I like stretching my imagination at times. Enjoy Summer. SuZ

Thank you very much Suz, glad you enjoyed it, warming up here in the uk but more often than not we pay for it with thunderstorms. Tom

I really like this one. Very descriptive of the fun families can have in the good old summertime. It is good that we once again can get out. It has been a long year + of being held in our homes except for just doing what was absolutely necessary. Thanks for your visit to my page. Sara

Tom Cunningham

June 6, 2021 at 1:25 PM

Thank you very much Sara, I call it the feelgood season because it does perk you up, restrictions over here are slowly being lifted and not before time. Tom

And some people are watering the garden... in the rain... in June. I’m reporting you to trading standards, Tom. Smashing write (even if it is merely a slice of history) and clever use of the asterisk to illustrate the Sun. Terry

Lol, we were lucky today went out with the family to cotswold wildlife park, warm and cloudy and no rain. Tom
