Summer

***Summer's not quiet here yet, but I live in Florida...*** Summer Earth awaken as a plethora of whales disembark from distant places Frigid storms dashed into the skies destined to inhabit empty spaces Sea captain tell seadogs to hoist skull and bones then fire pirate gun White wings outspread dazzling albatrosses herald the season begun Bodies swathed in lotion fervently absorb bronzing rays from the sun Pushing crusted pails and trowels children tossed pebbly sand for fun Bathers in the nude deny nervousness while bravado displays finesse Footprints upon shores pay homage to the gods of true summer bliss Penned on: 01/14/2018 4:53 p.m. West Palm Beach Florida USA

I've never read a Charles Dickens poem, I'm now going to have to check his work out. Thanks for visiting and pointing it out Gershon. Cheers!...ab
