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. July 8, 2018 First Place in Mid July standard contest by Brian Strand Placed 2nd in Summer Rispetto contest by Barry Stebbings Rhyme: abab, ccdd. Eight lines, 11 syllables each; Verified on howmanysyllables.com

When colors and scenes have blended, the outcome is a mgnificent landscape, not 'with shadowy shapes', but with vibrant, mesmerizing pictures. Lovely poem doing full justice to the adjective 'lovely'
