Summer's Melting Point

Summer's mask behind glinting flowers—
'Fraid to be seen kneeling at their leaf;
In her passions swathed by the air—
With the blooming sweat to pull it off.

'Fraid to be seen kneeling at their leaf,
She endows her soul around stem's waist;
In her passions swathed by the air,
Like colors' shadows in probing moments.

She endows her soul around stem's waist;
In her passions swathed by the air,
Like colors' shadows in probing moments—
Summer's mask behind glinting flowers.

Dear paige your poems are always so deeply moving and thought provoking and this is another one that is woven in such a creative manner. I love especially “ Fraid to be seen kneeling at their leaf, She endows her soul around stem's waist; In her passions balanced in the air, Like colors' shadows in scouring moments.” soul stirring! So much depth in your imagery.. Pleasure reading you alwys. Sending you light

Brilliant pantoum, I know it's not easy to compose. Great use of alliteration.
