Summer

Summer market is crowded,
I shall not be found missing.
Nothing like withered leaves
Or disappearing winter birds
But angels in swimming trunks
Pressing men to praise the posh.

In the shinning summer sun,
I shall ignite my motorised Ferrari bike, 
Take a cruising ride to the countryside;
Visiting the burgs , the gladiators' square,
And the tombs of the great that ever be.

I shall return in my outboard  boat
With wine and flesh for bar-be-cue
And spread my mat by the river side
Upon the well trimmed bermuda grass.
You shall know me  when I return;
Sweet Summer Sun shall be my tent.

Hi Kayode....I missed this contest due to other priorities...man does not live on bread only:) I enjoyed this winning poem of yours. Nothing like a holiday away from it all! The sea and the countryside are my main preferences; when abroad I go to the mountains (which we don't have in Malta). I'll have to borrow that Ferrari bike one of these days:) Congrats and hugs. // paul

Don't worry Paul, even Andrea somtimes misses.Nothing compares to Holiday in the countryside and that is where I choose often. I am influenced by my years of childhood.As for the Ferrari bike consider it done...huggs

there are some really imaginative lines of imagery in this one. I loved the personal touch you gave it, of taking the motorbike and going for a picnic. GREAT poem. Congrats on your win.
