Notes About The Poem
Joseph May's Seasons Contest

Summer

When summertime kisses the rose
Her nestling trees blossom so fair 
The dappled leaves twirl in repose 
Bathed in mist's spray... beyond compare.

 I crave her touch, her air ...how wild
 Like a damsel amid lush grass, 
Sultry when vibrant breezes glide
As limbs thrusts in passion's contrasts.

On gushes of night's flamed glimpses,
Embroidering her russet veils
In slow- fire movement... this goddess
Drops heat's thrill while off she trails.

And nightfall welcomes her romance
My breath lifts in a sultry way
When her torso rises... to dance
A whirl through her final ballet !

Your "Summer" is a wonderful write for a wonderful time of the year. I love this one.  "Good Luck" I did "WINTER." Have a lovely day writing away..........

Dear Nette, Wow, you gave the season such a mythical persona! Incredibly sensual and full of energy. I love the way you described the final dance of the season was particularly evocative. Beautiful! Autumn Blessings, Dear Nette, Daniel
