Summer

by Simon Hayes   Sep 4, 2005


The bees among the sycamore
Hover proudly up ahead
The sound of gentle chimes I hear
Like a fanfare on a thread

Birds flutter softly
and perch on chimneys
Sing so soft and oh sweet
In elegant harmonies

In the air a gentle breeze
Passes through my hair
And soon summer shall disappear
As if it wasn't there!

    Great write ! I love your metaphors which were so clear and simple as if I would be standing in a blooming garden looking around and seeing all those beautiful things going on, ther bees humming, the birds singing ... The second stanza is my fave one though the las two lines of the third stanza are oh so brilliantly written, giving this piece a perfect end . 5/5

    Sorry for commenting on your work tardily, but this truly inspired me to write about nature again.

    Thanx

    Beautiful poem. I loved the descriptions and images related to summer. Also the final message, of summer passing made a peaceful ending. Thanks for sharing.
