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.
