Joseph May Poet Triolet

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
                         -
