When Summer Is Gone Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Jcb Brul

When summer is gone, its heart may grieve. The endless breadth of the leaden blue sky and daylight golden sunny rays weave fall days become shorter and unsettled. Temperature's cool sweet breath at play for a playground of dreams and ebullient smiles. No longer cute summer wear, but the warmer apparels embrace. Nights longer echoes sounds of star lights. The days slowly progress to winter earth canvas and shone through abandoned labyrinth patches. Flowers slowly feather out and die, while drawn trees undress and crisp foliage echo footstep of earthy brilliant warm hue colors; a pinwheel of yellow, orange, red, and brown start to claim and dominate the scene; a poet's inspiration. 7/18/2024

You took me through the progression there from summer to fall. And so glad it ended, not with a thud, but inspirationally! Thanks, Gershon

Many love summer. Not I. It's too hot here. But I can understand how lovely summer can be as when I was young, I used to swim a lot. Not in my old age though.

Gorgeous penning, Eve. I'm always a little sad when summer ends, but I also love autumn. xox
