Summer Skies

Summer Skies

Summer sizzles shading seashore skies
Singing season songs – solstice surprise --
Sweet salmon sunsets spin splendorous shades
Strawberry sunrise spawns stratus shifting serenades.

Sapphire sky’s secret soliloquys stuns 
Shimmering sun sonnets swirling shadows shuns
Soaring solitude surely steals stress shells
So sunbeams spread summer’s signature spell.

Since stormy silver silhouettes suffuse squalls
Stolen solar spall splinters shower shards so small
Summer’s spirit soars, stratosphere specters scamper
Stellar scraps surround sheer space starlit sampler

Wow... wow! Stellar sketch of the summer sky in stylish, stunning sensuousness ! Maximum, I can think of is writing one line. But you have accomplished a wonderful task of writing four full stanzas. What does this show other than your semantic prowess! I am sure this is going to be a top winner! All the Best dear Sam!
