Summer Dreams Cloud Autumn Streams

Harvest moon christens autumn's 
regal jubilee
But festive soul pants for June's, 
Rose moon matinee
Autumn's leaves sparkle with newly 
minted sleeves
Yet my mellowed heart for 
summer's jade cloak grieves
Bold colors tinge forest canvas 
with newly painted eaves
But my insatiable eyes for the 
silted, summer meadow seethes
Autumn's mountain orchards with 
crisp, tart apple scents tease
Still my truant nostrils long July's, 
blackberry aroma to breathe
Swirling autumn winds through 
trees a  blithe melody wheeze
But muffled ears strain to hear 
soothing rhythms of a summer 
breeze
My footsteps trod over the quilted 
carpet of autumn's fallen leaves
Yet tingling feet long summer's 
soft, clover strands soles to fleece

Another weekend is here and I have not read as many poems as I would have liked to this week. I am happy I was able to read yours today. Have a wonderful weekend Stephen. Hopefully I will be able to read more next week. Love, Carol
