Summertime Sonnet
Summertime heats the birds and bonny boughs.
Wings lighthearted and flapping with the breeze.
Likewise, the scent of honeysuckles arouse
A ring - the wedding bells of buzzing bees.
Yet, the downpour of sweat, the pavement roast,
Burnt on both sides. Oh never mind… The sun
Resounds the flute, and cheers with champagne toast,
The budding lips of two becoming one.
See! Doesn’t matter! The roses, all in bloom.
White cocklebells a gushing veil of June.
The butterfly dispels the Winter’s gloom.
Lights up bride’s eyes and cricket’s honey moon.
Fireflies, amidst the dancing guests, in flight.
Fireworks light up the countenance of night.
