Summer For the Win

From behind packs of premature spring Comes molten summer for the win! Crumbs of hot rain snatched away Numb rivers sink into bleak basins May's but a gentle memory of Days kissed with misty green hindsight Bays and beaches fill with sun children who will Stay long beyond the tahitian twilight. 6/18/21

Well done, but Tahiti has high humidity and all that moisture would certainly be welcome in the SouthWest! Aloha! Rico

You made good use of your eight. I love the “molten summer.” Good luck in the contest.

WoW! Michelle, You did a great job with the Lento form. You made it look; I know that it's not—what a delightful seasonal poem filled with stunning imagery. I liked the transition from one season to the next. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day and weekend:-) Alexis

absolutely lovely seasonal imagery Michelle I especially like Tahitian twilight and crumbs of rain wither into hot dust - so descriptive!:-) hugs Jan xx
