Notes About The Poem

Written 28th June, 2026 for Phoenix Sixain Only Poetry Contest  sponsored by Suzette Richards.

Summer lights

A summer sky stretched wide and still,
Light moving softly, wild and free,
Clouds like thoughts that drift at will,
The day laid out in silver shroud,
Vision is a truth that makes us proud .
Summer light drifts in silver vision.

Awwn this is a beautiful summer poem! One that makes me pause and reflect on the lil things around us! I really love how you've crafted that line "Clouds like thoughts that drift at will" took me to a place, I could imagine laying in a garden and conversing with clouds as they drift by. Loved reading this! Sending light and best wishes :)
