Summer

A hot and humid day floats merrily on the seas As tiny bikinis amble in sandy footprints And frolic in the motives of soft ocean breeze Building sand-castle dreams with playful hints Hazy hues occupy the environs of a blue sky As pouring rains flood the tapestry on the arc When hurriedly blue herons lift-up and fly Escaping before the flash of a thunderous spark In a floral garden tempt lavender intimations Where nearing their beehives honeybees swarm Skipping the ambiance of fiery red carnations Subdued by sudden outburst of a fleeting storm Above the horizon now rainbow colors sprout Glorifying the moodiness of this season's reign-- Gloominess takes its place when sun opts out As sunshine comes and goes, and so does the rain The long day cedes to evening, buzzing in the park And there by the sidewalks pink rose-blooms sway Charmed by the bird songs in mating calls of lark As sunset paints ruby tinges upon a golden display May 12, 2019 HM: Your choice contest by Brian Strand

Charmed by the melange of summer scenes, like girls in bikni making sand castles in the beach, flying herons, red carnations, people ambling in the park etc etc. Lovely !

Vijay, This poem reminds of so many fine long days, and quick footed shelter runs from summer storms. -Richard

So beautiful Vijay. My happy place in summer is my back yard garden. I sit on my garden swing and listen to the buzz of bees and smell my flowers. Great job here. God Bless, JB

Beautiful imagery which captures our senses, Vijay. Describing scenes in normal words can be a delight to red, but being able to do it with poetic artistry is another. Well done, my friend. Regards // paul

Hi Vijay , this is a sure win my friend - - love the lines in the last verse - the long day cedes to evening, buzzing in the park - and the sidewalks where pink rose-blooms sway - you paint a picture of enticing summer months! Well penned Vijay. Hugs, Jennifer.

"As sunset paints ruby tinges upon a golden display" you paint with your poetic brush a portrait of Summer adorned with the colours of your feel.. fascinating, as you always do, your ardent reader with the unique beauty of your poetry.. Summer is far more alluring with your masterful pen, dear Vijay! I fave your ruby and wish you the best of luck in the contest. My deepest regards. God bless you.
