Summer Months

Anacreontic Yes, she will come The warming one. May kisses cascade On Spring as she fades. Calendars are wrong Summers come along Some unscheduled day Secreted by May. Stroll in fun June Who holds the moon To gaily display As her own balloon. Watch June move sure For the lifeguard’s chair To watch waters cure With bright, fun care. Bounce in bold July For another try To keep us busy Eager and dizzy. July loves parties With hot energies Full days of ease and Grand firework sprees. . See stern August Dare arrive flawless Knowing that she must End sun fun for us. August closets Summer polish To tweak and shine Final free flow time. September enters Somewhat deprived Cause life’s schedules Materialize. September ways Give us awesome skies Long, fresh scented days And deserves apt praise. Summertime joy gifts Memories that lift To fill good time’s page No matter our age. ... CayCay Jennings July 31, 2016 For Edward Ebbs' Contest - Anacreontic Verse 4 - 5th Place

What I like about this poem is the finale: I love those brief, warm, early morning Autumnal hazes...so crisp and invigorating; a man can fill his lungs - And breathe! Lovely poem. Keep on writing, CayCay...It will inspire me to start writing once again. My very best regards as always...And may you forever stay blessed and secure. Your friend always. :) john

wow, you went all out and gave us every single month!!! Very nice, my friend. (are you sure we can go over forty lines. Maybe I am wrong about that. But better check it). I love what you said about September's part in summer. I am a summer girl and thankfully was born at the tail end of it.
