These Happy Hours

These Happy Hours How brightly this Season’s fair complexion shines With full flowering buds that follow Spring, As though the sun’s gold orb is itself outshone. Sometime temperate winds cool the burning air And playful breezes dance in the shifting shade, When heaven is in possession of these happy hours, As the Season follows Nature’s untrimmed course, Until Autumn’s eternal harvest is returned And this fertile Season’s lease is run. B. Stebbings 08/06/19 For 'Summer's Day Redo Contest' by Michelle Faulkner

I do not comment on free verse Barry, it's not a form I try to write, but this is lovely. :)

Thank you, Gary. I have only posted three free verse poems, it is not my style but this one seemed to work. // Barry
