Notes About The Poem

Summertime


Summertime


Summertime
deepens green
of spring's soft haze.
With dense leaves, 
treetops meet,
sway to and fro,
peacefully.
Her green abides, 
in velvety, 
thick, lush grass
like carpet spread
beneath the trees.
Long tangled vines 
that cling tight,
sway and dance 
in the warm breeze.
Her moonlit nights
with cooler air,
invites a rest
in outdoor peace,
perhaps stirred by
a thunderstorm.
Summer green 
brings harmony 
to nature's flow
with varied hues...
a mix of yellow
sunny hope with
dreamy evening
tranquil blues.

The picture you paint is lovely and peaceful. I wish summer was like that here, Mrs Sandra. Everything is burning up already. Leaves are turning brown grass is dying. Oh well, such is life. Love the soothing write. At least you shared yours with us.
