Summer Is

Summer is a cricket's chirp, the croak of a bullfrog's burp, and a sweet nightingale's twirp. A season beyond compare: wildlife thriving everywhere, as flowers perfume the air. The whoosh of a flyswatter; swimming pools of cool water: and warm days, getting hotter. The neighborhood kids at play, outside till night claims the day: and the stars are on display. An abundance of daylight; an itchy mosquito bite: and a fledgling bird's first flight. A time of love and romance: opening your heart to chance, and dancing a moonlit dance.

Such a pleasant, easy-to-read poem, Emile. I loved the monorhymes in each stanza. And I enjoyed every image except the mosquito's itchy bite and, perhaps, the swoosh of the flyswatter. All right on target. It's hotter than blue blazes here in Kentucky right now...upper 90s. Stay cool, my friend.
