Summer Rispetto

Summer lures artists to a paint brush of joy Magic spells cast for family vacation Dreams of finding love... a teenage girl and boy Fresh picked homegrown garden of vegetation Vibrant myrtle releases its sweet array Blossom petaled fragrance as is nature's way Long hours in fields working crops... farmers and wives Golden hay bales are signs of summer goodbyes July 30, 2018 Picture Me A Summer Rispetto Contest By Barry Stebblings Rhyme Scheme ABAB CCDD Third Place

I know nothing of this contest (not yet), but I sure enjoyed each and every sense pleasure your imagery brought my way. A poem to inhale! Also, I very much relate to summer good-byes. You touched many of my places - thank you. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
