Short Summery Poems

warm summery day
a soft sweet kiss where it hurts
ice cream cone headache

Deep in the pine woods,
Flowers of many colours
Better than most goods,
Bathed in summery showers,
Filled with unspoken powers....

peers through my warm windowpane

whispering to me,  ever so gently

see my sherbet colors,  all anew, for you

At magic mountain
of the purple twilight dusk,
Summery stars swirl!
A dusty purple evening,
of redbird songs echoing.

Magnificent moon,
Pearls spill down the mountainside,
No breeze is stirring.
Golden memories now fade
as tomorrow dreams invade....

verdant grassy knoll,  cardinal flying warm summery sun
lullaby ready buzzing of jet plane, gorgeous memories
scent of sweet lilacs, drone of lawnmower and songbirds trilling

Tanka
When utilities 
Are privately owned 
We are prisoners
Caught in a web of avarice
Capitalism gone viral

Senryu 
On the opposite wall
The sun shines bright and summery 
Typical!

Words.
When I speak 
I get lost in the fog of words
When alone 
I can see forever...

Ageless Summery

a porch screen riddled
by fragmenting noon beacons
     ~~grandmas curtain hangs

chairs rock as handheld
fan waves midst squeaking floorboards
     ~~iced tea drinks glisten

It was the beginning of a summery season,
In that beautiful dress, adorned with baby blue and pink
Opened back, opened toe sandals; she gave me a wink
That sundress took my breath away, I wanted to say "hello" but lacked  a reason




                                                                        By: Shane Solomon...

He planted his feet firmly on the ground
And resisted the urge to look around
Looking up he saw clouds skirting by
Against an azure blue summery sky

So he thought where should I be
Not standing alone with dreams to be free
But all he had were these moment alone
To ponder his fate as his chances were gone.

October

There is disquiet in the air tonight
The noise is still is sullen
Summery with a hint of Sunday blue.

A cricket in the Karoo
A mom sitting on the patio
Howling at the moon
Far far away.

A circular spiral of panic
Then nothing
Not even a breath.

The fever in me recognises the fever in you
Namaste.

Good riddance
Thy will be done.

Amen...

January is heralded with many a cheer
Announcing the beginning of the New Year
Numbing the memories of the old, as it disappears
Uncaring the bitter cold envelopes like a prickly drape
Absolute in its intent to send the frosty chills down your nape
Relentlessly revealing winter’s wondrous delights, as we
Yearn for yesterday’s warm summery nights...

It was one of those days
Summery haze
Little girls and boys out to play
It was the day the sun shone
It was one of those days
Lovers gaze
All the grown ups smiling
It was the day the sun shone
It was one of those days
Bluebells and Waves
Shining glory
It was the day the sun shone
It was just one of those lazy hazy days
It was the day the sun shone...

                 The stars welcome me with their mist.
Summery, divine, by a waltzing moon,
                 Lovingly, most appreciatively kissed.
In the shadows of night, is my hope!                 
                 Flying to heaven on silvered notes!

Serendipity happened
As the dancer communed
Poet's scintillas and muse
Enchanting poetic expression
Dances like wind-tossed Dandelion
Fragrant perfume infuse
Summery, sumptuous person
Gifted poet whose poems not homespun
Whose words hearts seduce___

The sun sets on a silvery sea 
Scenic skies beyond shadowy surroundings 
Soft sounds thereof summer's supreme 
So stunning, the picturesque sun settling  
The still surface seems silenced 
Sensational semblance-shown splendid  
Sightseer's sweet subtle scenery

Marvelous, matchless, magical, moonlit midnight,
With a superabundance of sparkly, summery stars,
Peacefully placid, pure and prettily plummy,
Radiantly rich, rhapsody resplendent rapture!
Fragrant flowers frolic freely in your fervence,
Eye-catching and exquisite in their exuberance,
Bouncing blissfully in breezy, blooming ballet.
Inexhaustible and intoxicating and intriguing,
Dazzling and delightful, and doubtlessly dreamy....

Life is like a Rose
by Terry Richardson

Life is like a Rose...
So Delicate and Fragile...
Yet so Strong and Enduring...
The Heart opens like a Rose...
On a Summery Dawn Morning...
Blossoming unto its Fullness...
When its in Love...
Withering Away when Heartbreak...
Falls upon It...
Mending its Branches...
As Winters Harsh Cold...
Puts a soothing Salve Over It...
Budding again Each New Spring...
To Renew and Start Again......
