his lips slipped upon mine; into dreaming in the satellite of fall's chaste shadows sphered by the last cast of summer streaming onto our free skin, sunk in the shallows our first kisses, our first mature outlet for a latent love now bursts in our ears from seeds sown in spring's bosom, mere trinket our little love, hedging, a nest appears underneath the...

Quote: “Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay” ... Robert Frost [Verse] It’s the hour of summer’s last breath, Golden days...

Premium Member That Pause Between Summer And Autumn
The footprints of Summer are left to fade garnished by Autumn as it starts to slow and steals the sunlight with its dim-lit shade as the seasons begin to ebb and flow The Autumn's nip chills its honeyed glow as the wet leaves of Summer have withdrawn to leave a pause mid-change of Autumn's show as it paints vivid colors of the...

next summer
Do you think we could fall in love again next summer? Like a warm breeze that swiftly moves through the seasons embracing for the cold winter ahead. We would sit among dewy grass blades and walk along the chilled sand from a secluded beach as the moon rises. Splash and swim around in chilly water. Lay between wildflowers and...

I'm at my keyboard as I remember a long ago dawning of September. Who would have thought that a once youthful lad would encounter summer's end and be glad? He enjoyed all the freedom and the play, given a boy on each extended day. But now, was ready to return to school, a sentiment not oft' considered cool. To see the...

For: SEASONS NOW AND AFTER Poetry Contest Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Date: August 6, 2025 ***** Somewhere between the summer and the rain you left and left me lonesome once again. The tiger-lily and the bumblebee are pleased to keep their simple company. The young black-tailed deer and her spotted fawn take morning leisure on the fresh mown lawn Two-by-two...

Lying in between seasons is a pause, To look at what's gone on, what's to become. In Fall, dreading Summer's last curtain call. In Spring, vaulting to cheer Winter's demise. The quad-cycle ride brings its surprises. It taunts, haunts with clockwork compromises- When we wake up before the alarm sounds, Or press snooze, to linger on dreams instead. Drowning the questions never posed...

Pastel flowers and velvet greens quickly matured through July days; refining fullness, but alas surrendering to August's phase. Too soon, this time will quickly pass unveiling hints of Autumn's blaze. ...
