To Linger Still

Majestic sun to linger still My wish for days ahead As summer starts to lose its will With autumn winds to stead Scenes of azure blue and green The tableau I desire With homage to my season queen I pray she won’t retire While sand and shells adorn the sea I’ll drift in gentle dream With summer thoughts of fancy free Forever to redeem

Makes me wish for a real summer, like the idyllic one you've describe so poignantly. … Here in Chicago, those days are as rare as an honest politician, unfortunately … Beautifully expressed! ~ Gershon

Mike, this write is magical and I could easily see it written in one of those Summer costal magazines. The flow is as relaxing as the wash of incoming tide!

Your praise of the summer queen is so lovely Mike. People who live in the four seasons usually feel this way. Autumn is my queen. I used to spend time with a friend in Illinois every year in October. I loved your poem. I so enjoy your writing style. Have a great week! : )
