Summer Dance


The day began an infinite sky of blue,
my gentle garden all tranquility;
soon the sky went grey and sun said adieu,
rain fell on flowers of fragility.
It was wild and crazy and the wind blew,
the rain came with amiability;
watching from my window this summer dance,
soon-  I was in the storm to leap and prance.

I too would leap and prance within a summer storm, but the Autumn breezes would excite me more! I know, this was about summer rain, I was just sending out that I love the fall so much I'm looking very forward to it! But your poem here excels in so many ways. The rhyme is excellent and you keep the flow going at an equally intense way! I truly loved reading your lovely piece this morning! You have delighted me in every way by your fabulous poem, Great Work my friend!!

I LOVE how you did yours, ending with the leap of dance, Constance. What a great entry to his contest. Thought I would visit you on my way off. Gonna make our dinner now. I hope you enjoyed your Monday.
