Mike Gentile Poet Sonnet

Summer's Kiss

What would I do for Summer’s Kiss
                 For buttered corn and cherry tarts
For watermelon’s sugared bliss
                   All set to woo my heart of hearts

For Summer’s kiss is one to know
                         Like watercolor’s rainbow pie
The honeyed air begins to blow
                    The breezes grace a painted sky
 
And summers kiss the ocean too
                 For gulls to greet the morning sun
The mist of sandy beach in view
                 While laughter rings in echoed fun

And then, through evening’s sleepy eyes
                           To gaze at dance of fireflies
