Weighted By the Fog

The crows' caws weighted by the fog
float upon heavy air
and katydids sing elaborate
tunes, songs not so rare

Summer's vocals freely vibrate
Around headed to fall
The last chance to flirt and dance
Before Jack Frost's first call

The hum of a well tuned engine
Summer's delicate sounds
Shortly will be ushered into
winter's end, wait__ spring's crown

Thank you, Howard. I was out on the porch that morning and a truck coming up the road disturbed my peace and the quiet. I appreciate you reading my work from so far back. Sara K.

What beautiful imageries dear Sara, I live in the tropics so we are not blessed with the highs and lows of seasonal changes. One cannot enjoy the warmth of summer unless one goes thru the coldness of winter, such is the wisdom of God, I loved your poem. Luv, Tiaua.

Aye, Summers on the turn, Autumn now awaits, then the cold arrives, as we venture through Winters gate. The afresh the season brings, probably my favourite season, yep, it's Spring. Lovely poetry Sara - James ........ :)

Dear Sara, You have some brilliant imagery in this poem - the crows weighted by fog, katydids singing and Jack Frost coming to call. I know you'll be as happy as I will when the weather cools off. Love and blessings, Carolyn
