Summer Reveries - More Than Dreams

Each day is time for new thanksgiving. Lengthen life, enhance your living. Vigor renews, or so it seems, When reveries are more than dreams. Joy is simple and often cheap: Leap in fields, then picnic and sleep; Chase fireflies and dance with moonbeams- Summer reveries more than dreams. Cuddle at drive-ins, go to a beach. Enjoy the taste of a sweet summer peach. Go cruising with friends or wading in streams. Make your reveries more than dreams. Each day is time for new thanksgiving- Sweet summer reveries more than dreams. (This rhyme is a type of sonnet called kyrielle sonnet for my favorite season of the year! For the Seasonal Bliss Poetry Contest of Regina Riddle)

One of life's simple joys is reading your poetry, Andrea. This one is full of snap shots of good times. I watched fireflies the other night but I didn't chase them.

"Joy is simple and often cheap"-- how true. Most of the time we don't enjoy what we buy, but enjoy the things of nature. Congratulations on your gr...eat win.

"Joy is simple and often cheap" is a beautiful line that gives a great truth about life. So many look for happiness in the BIG things and it is hidden in the simple and small. Best wishes with this lovely sonnet.
