Although my favorite season is the fall, I must admit I do like the summer too.

As the sunray's beam ~ through my sunroom shades And the warmth of summer ~ slowly fades My old heart soothes ~ when flowers bloom And newborns exit ~ mother's wombs Songbirds singing ~ in backyard baths Children playing ~ out bursting laughs Ocean's beaches ~ morning boat rides Swimming, fishing ~ on moonlit tides Four or "Fore" ~ an eighteen hole The groundhog's call ~ bless his soul His tale a myth ~ his truth be told Summer's here ~ lo and behold Priceless moments ~ in summer's sun Love it, enjoy it ~ so much fun Summer season ~ I do adore If I were god ~ I'd give us more

Summer isn't it a wonderful time? Your poem conveys all the magic of the season, right from the songbirds singing to children playing, the beach and of course fishing. Wonderful memories, wonderful poem, a gem and a fave for me Charlie....Maria hugs

This is wonderful, however, I should point out that the rhyme scheme is not rubaiyat... it would be a shame to see such a wonderful poem DQ from the contest because the rhyme scheme is off.
