Summer Rispetto

Cerulean lake flows beneath azure dome

Charming revelers in waters cobalt blue

Gazing into horizon where eagles roam

Greeting scenic pastures in aerial view.

Upon shamrock landscapes quiver golden rays

Crafting shadowy shapes, drawing zealous praise

Foretelling onset of twilight colors soon

Preparing the stage for ardent summer moon.
