Nette Onclaud Poet Quatrain

The Ending of Caprice

When summer days have run their pace
I'll travel homeward bound...again
To savor grasses' charmed embrace
To taste the herbs, and roam our lane;
Where oaks...heavy with June flowers
Nestle on fields while north breeze sighs
Tides lapping unto long hours
Till sunsets glow on rosy skies:
A town caressed by winding isles
Regaling the shores...I'l sashay
With seagulls dancing in freestyles
Towards the reeds at close of day
