Summer

Summer 


This glorious time of year
grace is in bloom, divine
supple spindles gleam
by golden beam
waltz, waltz June fairies  
from dandelion to lofty pine.

Off on a stroll above meadows
scented wisps, a tryst, oh my
sandalwood, sweet
fair mulberry treat
swoon, swoon ethereal swans 
into the mild, evening light, of July.

Stirring for summer's farewell          
frail wonders, tulips, up high
butterflies pair  
with delicate flair 
steady, steady August delights                                                  
primroses await your slumbering sigh.

What a marvelous, magical poem. Apart from your other works, I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it, classic or contemporary.
