The Loud Cries, Brightest Depths Of Summer Hues The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues! Gold gleaming on broad fields of flashing grain; Numerous as if sands upon sea shore Nature wouldst this beauty never deny Spring's great new glory in its birthing pains The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues! The meritorious winds, summer's love! The adventure of red fox hunt and chase; Passionate and true as lovers implore Lust for the living and heart's softer steps Cupid's deep thrusts, arrow's fruits not erase The meritorious winds, summer's love! The sweetness of summer songs have now fled! The angry wasps have forsaken their nests: Dried hanging as if to be never more Death wouldst dar'est accursed dark levies take Living heart from singing in mortal chests The sweetness of summer songs have now fled! The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues! Gold gleaming on broad fields of flashing grain; Numerous as if sands upon sea shore Nature wouldst this beauty never deny Spring's great new glory in its birthing pains The loud cries, brightest depths of summer hues!

Thank you my friend. I wrote this poem in early March, when summer here was still far away. I was recalling summers of my youth on the farm and I just let the verses flow on out.

The dull colours of summer have their own attractions but you have defused more brightness and landscaping beauty in these otherwise dull colours of summers. By sketching such a wonderful picturesque poetic scene, you have created a wonderful beauty dear friend Robert. It was a joy to read your poem and thank you so much for revisit on my poems of 12Th May. I am grateful for your precious words. More on your poem after I come back from an outstation trip...with best wishes always..Ravindra

What an interesting form: the six firm symmetric stanzas with a floating line! I never met before.

Thank you my friend. Summer has always been my favorite season. So much color, life, swimming , beaches and the blessing and inspiration seen with beautiful women wearing skimpy clothes.....
