Summer's End

Silence falls around me
Night has settled in
Darkness takes the sunlight
Wraps its beam within


Daytime waits 'til morning
Clouds rest in the sky
Moon has risen over
Wind does hurry by

Summer is near ending
Autumn drawing fast
Memories created
Hope that they will last...

But the magic interlude
That keeps the heat enclosed
Seeps away in solitude
As if it ne'er had posed

Love it, Donna. Gives a sort of hear-chill to think of the coming fall. Love, daver

A lovely poem, and I agree it is nice to feel the summer's end so warm and gentle, in the midst of our freezing weather. Love, Shar

Dear Donna It is nice to be reminded of summer during this cold New York winter. I enjoyed this quatrain. Have you read Omar Khayms Rubiyat? It is one of the most famous books of quatrains. I have read quite a bit about it. Hope you keep up the good poetry and thanks for your comments. And yes, I am familiar with that children's rhyme. Sincerely Matthew Anish
