Summer and Spring

Sublime summer is arriving,
The darling daisies are gossiping
Laying on the sill of the silly window,
The sun is complimenting them excessively,
The blush is lustrous and lurking. 
Summer is shimmering on its way,
Spring is packing her suitcase,
Ready to leave,
She doesn't get along with her sister,
Summer's soar sight 
Can make Spring blind. 
Spring loves her eyes
So she's absolutely ready for goodbyes,
I should not hold her,
I'd write a goodbye letter
Hoping that she'd feel better,
Sisterhood is a vital matter,
Spring and summer can never unite
Even though they are two sisters so polite—
Spring is too floral,
Summer is too bright. 
And when they get together 
All they do is fight. 
And that's not at all right. 
So goodbye spring,
Come back next year,
Go your merry way,
Let go of summer's fear. 
I'll be waiting from you to hear,
Goodbye now,
Summer is almost near.

This is a fun poem to read. I imagine you had fun playing with words for this creative piece. Living in Florida, I'm already summer held, it's Spring I love dearly & will not see here. I have peps in Virginia to visit for that. Your poem made me wonder if Spring lks Fall lks Winter lks Summer; surely they have some bond, maybe codependence? Good poem ideas, mayhap. Since W is my least fav, I used to rush it out. I enjoyed this, Anne, and getting to know you. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Dearest CayCay, I used to hate summer. I have always loved fall and winter, I don't know why. Maybe I do, I love cold weather and I love wearing cosy sweaters and coats haha. But recently, I have started loving summer. I love every season, I think every season has its own beauty. So I try to romanticise every season. I am grateful for your lovely words<3 Best, Anne

My Dearest Anne, As I read your playful farewell to spring I thought it sparkled with wit and warmth.Your poetic voice shines through in every line. I love how you personify the seasons as sisters, each with her own charms and flaws, their rivalry both humorous and tender. The daisies gossiping, the sun’s excessive compliments, and Spring’s careful packing, they are delightful touches that make the scene come alive. Your closing lines, with their gentle goodbyes and hope for reunion, capture the bittersweet beauty of change. Letting go is part of the cycle, and that each season, like each poem, has its moment to shine. You are shining my Dear Anne! Spring Blessings, Daniel

' Spring and summer can never unite. ' Sometimes I think they like to compete with each other. Showing up at the same time. I like them both, but for different reasons. :) This is cute, clever and creative, Anne. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Great personification. Wonderful use of alliteration especially with the use of L and S. I don't like summer much. I live in Malta, just south of Italy and I live on fruit mainly as it is too hot. I am already seeing people with burned skin. Finally my praise for a wonderful poem. a true poet. I alas am just a wordsmith.

Dear Victor, I am also not very keen on summer, the heat makes my mood a little depressed but I try to find beauty as much as I can for example, ice cream makes summer bearable, and the flowers. I appreciate your praise, you are a brilliant poet! Thank you so much! Warm regards, Anne

- Spring is my favorite time of year ... summer is usually "drowned" in rain here in Norway ... the last few years we have had beautiful autumn days ... (I don't like winter ... snow is not my favorite :) - A lovely poem with your feelings, Anne :) - hugs

Dear Anne-Lise, I miss autumn. I just love autumn. I feel happy during autumn. Summer is not my type of season. Thank you for sparing time to read my poem. I appreciate you. Best, Anne

Creative way to write about the personality of spring and summer. I do like spring with its beauty but don't like some of the storms that pass through. It can be scary, dangerous and deadly. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Dear Sara, even though I love rain but I hate storms, they petrify me especially night storms. I find them super scary. Thank you for reading my poem, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you. Best, Anne

Just like siblings and perennial goodbyes. Mother Nature knows best, and we must do our part as good stewards of our planet as miss Summer is every bit more blistering than ever! Wonderful imagery and personification paragon, Anne! Wishing you inspiration and encouragement~
