Summer's Songs

Used on Poetry Soup 6/13/17

Summer’s Songs

The rumbling bass of thunder,
A beat of light, a roaring rain,
Zinnias are spreading and waving
Glory colors once again.

The low viola of cool breeze air;
Blue Jays’ tweeted  tempos,
Searing sunrays rippling
Hot sand lodging in your toes

Suddenly a siren crescendos
As a passionate clarinet.
Playing children in summer shorts
Sound a cheery sweet quartet.

Water splashing and sparkling
Lends its notes to the homebound throng.
Turtle doves’ murmurs sighing
Softly the finale to summer’s songs.

Greetings, Brother Poet Sunlite your " Summer Song" is refreshing. When you speak the word (each word) has a motion, moves liken waves of the seas, tides. It' s fresh, makes me think that I am standing in the presents. Blessings --James Edward Lee Sr??
