Premium Member Awaiting Near Summer's Gleam
Chorus of day's notes descends on relay Sauntering through warm rhythms of romance, Gold dusk anticipates near summer's play Night blessing hot July's approach , I dance! Tossed into moon's glow... bringing scented charms, Dusk rises agleam till wildflowers swell, Kissed by birdsongs I await new love's arms Dreaming of passion ...when sweeter times dwell. ...

Premium Member Summer holiday
The summer holidays are here! Time to relax and unwind. Let's head for the beach, build sandcastles, ride on donkeys and paddle in the sea. The golden sun is shining - No clouds are in sight. We apply coconut scented lotion then lay on beach towels taking care not to burn! We unpack our picnic hamper onto a huge tartan rug. There’s lots of delicious treats food...

Drumming Questions on the Pane
The sky, a bruise of fading blue and grey, Holds breath suspended at the close of day. Then, just a whisper, a reluctant sigh, The first fat drop descends from on high. Not gentle tears but plummets bold and stark, That shatter dust and leave their watery mark. A sudden violence, a cleansing sweep, Awakening earth from its sun-drenched sleep. The parched brown...

Summer
I've strolled the boardwalk in hopes of taming the beast countless times. When the phone betrayed me, the ocean was a friend like no other. Crushing my hate on the grains of sand on a balmy August night without second thought. Self doubt, disbelief, and time unlimited will torture in ways unimaginable. Fear is heavy to the man who...

Premium Member Old Hands Chime Twelve
Old hands counted fingers to define, That the hours in a day chime twice twelve, That the months in a year toll what the old hands told. Twelve apostles, tribes and days of Christmas do unfold Twelve jurors decide, the twelfth is the hanged man card, 12 inches make a foot, 12 notes in an octave for a song...

Premium Member Life Passing Me By POTD
From obscurity come the strangers Fading away, like old dangers. Walking the street of flowers more people pass every hour A few are pleasantry exchangers. Near my porch, robin sings Beautiful music for summer swing! Red berries in a bowl Kelly green butterfles, on patrol Noontime's for swaying and musing. Passersby, smiles of the moment Starry eyes, upon distance fervent! Jasmine fragrance in the air Pink hummingbird is...

Premium Member Memories of Eleventh Summer
School grinds on. It seems like hell. Last day, then summer, and we're free. An angel sings, rings the school bell. We race down the street with glee - so, begins three months of fun. Let's play baseball. Let's climb a tree. Riding bicycles in the sun, Will this season end? No - never - dreaming...
