SUMMER'S DELIGHT (with photos)

 
SUMMER’S DELIGHT

Summer’s flower,
such brief delight,
plucked with love
on warm days content;
dear birds sweetly singing
their joyful summer song
to brighten and cheer
and bring a renewed smile
to this heart of mine.

The idea of "Pic-Apart" Poetry (which is open now and throughout tomorrow) is to select 25 words from the featured poetry posted (this month two pieces by Elizabeth Barrett Browning) and to create a new piece using only those 25 selected words. The words may be used more than once and the tenses changed.

DANCING WITH THE SEASONS (with photos)

DANCING WITH THE SEASONS

Summer breathes a sigh,
shadows of late afternoon
giving way to Autumn,
leaves floating to the ground,
waltzing upon the breeze
as I marvel at their grace.
And as leaves of fall
have blanketed the ground,
crystalline snowflakes glisten
in a winter morning’s sun;
I join them in their dance
as they waltz into my heart.

And together we dance
to meet the dawn of spring,
winter melting away
as we greet this day
sheer unbridled joy,
a dance of new life
flowers blooming
and buds bursting
and birds singing
a brand new song.
