Sun of Summer

Poet:  Ken Jordan
Poem:  Sun Of Summer 
Edited by:  Sparkle Jordan 
written:  June/2015 



       Winters gone now, and its falling 
snow, and icy crystals, have liquefied 
to its watery grave.

       The once hazardous black ice 
that bedded atop the slippery asphalt 
streets, is gone too.

        Spring, is here, and the late March 
Sun, is still ninetythree million miles 
away from earth; rotating around a 
silver moon-

        Flowers are in bloom, in all their
splendour, Cherry tree blossoms are 
budding, and the once dormant grass 
in winter is now green again.

         The familiar gradation of the late
Spring hazy day sky, is slowly beginning 
it's change to  a cloudless oasis, in the
 blue hues of celestial space.

         Soon, it's picture perfect looks,
will give way to the relentless dog day's 
of  summer, and the sweet sounds of
chirping fledgling birds, singing in the 
breeze of spring, will migrate to some-
where cool.

           Make no mistake about it, 
 Summer is near, and the invisible 
celestial rays of heat, are slowly 
beginning to spiral down out the 
Sky.

          Any day now, the ball of fire 
in the universe, will farther distance 
itself from the silver moon; moving 
closer to earth, to send it's infernal 
rays through the atmosphere.
       
       Winters - slush, snow, and ice,
and Springs, beautiful colours of 
carnations, and daffodils, will serve 
as a far distant memory, that 
succumbed to Summer's Sun -

        And from henceforth, the planet 
will burn, and silhouette's from Sun Rays, 
will shadow the orange/blue hues of a July, 
August,  and September sky -

       Earth's axis now rest in Summer; 
some will welcome in the most sweltering 
season of them all, with beach fun, bbq
party's and family outings in the park -

        However, not everyone will welcome 
the three months of scorching heat, as the 
Mercury Index reaches above three digits -

        Nonetheless, the Equinox, will spin 
the sun closer to earth, to reach fruition.   
and all will know that the Sun Of Summer
has arrived -
