The Summer Sighs

"Summer's Lease hath all too short a date" -- William Shakespeare --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A buttercup glows in the sun And in its glow the summer sighs It won't be long till summer's done A buttercup glows in the sun Its web of gold at last is spun On wings of time a season flies A buttercup glows in the sun And in its glow the summer sighs - 9-5-19 Writing Challenge 1, September 2019 - Eight Line Form Sponsor, Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode

This is such a cute poem Joseph, I'm honestly not surprised that you won in this contest - Summer and seasons do go so quickly, before we know it it will be Christmas. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

A beautiful farewell to Summer. Even the flowers know, it's time to hibernate. Ahhh, yes- the soft sighs of summer. I wish to place this in my favorites. :) Brandy
