Summer

[woollams812]

Dream a dream of summer breezes
Blowing through your hair
Observe the green new blossomed trees
Blow gently through the air

Now move yourself to sandy dunes
Let sun rays blast your face
Watch desert bird calls raise the moon
Absorb that arid space

Drink in the black of midnight sky
Let darkness fill your pores
Make daylight’s sunbirds wonder why
They dare to sleep indoors

[Poeticpiers]

A jaunty little melody that trips off the tongue pleasantly

My first reading of your work welcome

Really? I've posted a lot of my stuff on here. Well anyways thanks for reading and thanks for the kind words

really neat poem you have here, an air of mystery woollams. I'm loving the squirrel. took me a minute to figure it out. It's the wonder of closing your eyes and allowing your mind to release. really great imagery. the rhyme was soft and I felt really worked well, not forced at all.

my favorite line:

Drink in the black of midnight sky

I loved the way you had the desert birds summon the moon; I thought that inventive. wonderful work you have here.

Thanks, yeah I tried to put emphasis on the animals playing an important role in summer. I wrote it while I was working at my job at a golf course, the summer breeze was blowing at me and the 1st line popped in my head. Thanks for reading
