Notes About The Poem

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

Through My Sunroom Shades

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.
