Summer

Summer wears her stunning crown of golden sun with pride. Her fiery nature heats the earth with blazing rays, while her siren song lures weary people to come and play, enjoy.
7/30/21 This form is called a Butterfly Cinquain which isn't a cinquain at all. It is a nonostich (9 lines) and uses the syllable count of the Crapsey Cinquain and then reverses it. It is unrhymed. (Info from "Poets Collective") Syllable count is: 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 8, 6, 4, 2 When centered it resembles a butterfly, hence the name.
