Sun shines bright in cerulean sky, Temperature's rising fast. Another hot day in sultry July, Reminiscent of summers past, I'm sure it won't be the last. A distant thunder begins to rumble, As white clouds turn dark gray. Leaves and debris go rumble-tumble, When the wind kicks into play. Soon the rain will join in the fray. Summer is here in all of her glory, Displaying her temperamental side. Sunshine and thunder all part of her story, She rarely seems satisfied. Summer will be a long, hot ride.

Kim, thanks for teaching me a new word today, "cerulean": adjective, noun deep blue; sky blue; azure. And the rest of the poem was just as impressive. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by earlier. All the best, Terrell

Thank you, Terrell! I learned about that word "cerulean" here on soup when I started here years ago.

Yes, summer is going to be here for a while. I am already longing for fall to come in with its cooler days. I enjoyed reading this one today. Thank you for sharing it and for dropping by my page. Sara

Summers have become extremely unpleasant these days with a steep rise in temperature, occasionally threatened by summer rains and thunder storms. Summer season is beautifully presented in its ambivalent nature...dear Kim
