Summertime Girls

A delicate framework of filigree curls All dancing in ringlet on summertime girls A picture as fresh as a zephyr in June As soft as a sunset on meadow, new moon A stroke of the brush and a smile is reborn To flatter the eyes ‘neath her brow’s playful scorn The mountains and lakes that beset her desire Are brimming with life setting young hearts afire All gilded in gold like a Rembrandt ballet It seems she’s about to have something to say Her painter, most worthy of diamonds and pearls To capture the essence of summertime girls

How sad to grow old. Summertime girls are not for me now. A lively poem.
