Sotto Poet Poet Rhyme

The Summer Vow

Written: July 24, 2026 for a contest sponsored by Line Gauthier

          ***********

The golden word whispers of summer fall,
And throw a brash blanket over it all.
Season stretches its emerald print wide,
To warm the woods where shadows creep and hide.
An amber-tinged texture wakes every bough,
As rogue teem signs the earth to seal a vow.
