The Fabric of Summer

With melancholic fortitude
   I suffer Summer's threadbare wane
 Though just a stitch of Autumn's gown
Shows through these tepid, shorter days
      The weave of sultry memories
   Drapes warm nostalgia on my heart
     I'll wear this paling green till frost

this is one of the best i've seen so far for the contest; i love the whole fabric/clothing idea because it's a very original take on the theme - good luck in the contest but i don't think you'll need it!

This is so cleverly constructed,David. I love the 'clothing' theme woven throughout with verbs and nouns and the title is a perfect fit. Some wonderful 'touches'. I really enjoyed reading it.
