Summer Rispetto


	June arrives...we start our fling with Summer love
	with its deeper shades matured from springtime green,
	as lush and crowded leaves fill the trees above,
	that sway with gentle winds...peaceful and serene.
	Summer stirs warm harmony in mind and heart,
	as it paints the scenery with brilliant art
	of lovely flowers, both bright and pastel hues
	'neath the calm and rolling skies of tranquil blues.

You describe summer love in such a poetically beautiful way.. I never want it to end. Unless you have such a write for Autumn :)
