Summer is a cricket's chirp; the croak of a bullfrog's burp and a sweet nightingale's twirp. A season beyond compare; when wildlife thrives everywhere and 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 stars are put on display. An abundance of daylight; an itchy mosquito bite and a fledgling bird's first flight. A time for 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.
