Summer Day

Clouds puffy white teddy bears drifting above Colliding then separating, dancing it seemed The sun tired now, sinking into the horizon But not before sharing its glorious hues Fiery red, goldenrod yellow, streaked with azure Like the most vibrant of rainbows Her children sat on the beach patting turrets onto sand castles Pebbles in pails of water, glistening in the wet Black, rust, and pink granite Souvenirs of a hot happy summer day

What a joyous and descriptive journey to the shore - I almost feel as if I was there! Love your metaphor and the picture this paints in my mind! Congrats, Madeleine! :-)

The imagery in this was fantastic. I just left your autumn poem and now I am traveling through a summer day at the beach. Nicely done Madeleine.
