Gone now...

Simple words on summers arrival

Gone now at last springs sobbing sky
and the misty shrouds of morn',
gone now drear grey and barren days
and the silent waking dawn,
as summer rouses from her sleep
and paints the world anew,
serenaded by an avian choir
'neath a cloudless sky of blue.
Oh how this life a better place
with colour, warmth and song,
so Gaia please this season grant
license to linger on.

If only summer would linger on lol. I like it. It can get too hot at times, but it's a fun season. Any reason for the apostrophe to signify plural? Never seen that before, so kinda caught me like 🤨. It might be better further down with "world" more than "sky" lol. But otherwise a really great piece, buddy! Well done!

What a lovely feeling your words brought on!
Dear Gee, I envy your gentle, colorful summer as I grapple with mine here,
one that's searing, boiling and discoloring all in its path.
Enjoy it to the fullest!
May your summer last long!

It's the most wonderful time of the year. That really should have been a Spring song.
Your words are beautiful and bring everything to life so vividly. Thanks for this feel-good moment.

Thanks Ana. It is good that simple rhyming verse still has its place in the cafe.
Hope you are keeping well.

It is still spring here but I would venture to say that our springs are very similar to some people's summer. Nicely rhymed Gee. This one read smoothly and felt good.

Cheers Will, hope all is well

Wow! A breathtaking write so finely inked, Gee. I love how you so poetically describe Spring and the arrival of Summer, the dawn chorus and cloudless blue skies. I so agree that the world is a better place when filled with the colours, warmth and songs of Summer. Compared with Winter, it's like living in a different world. I pray Gaia gives permission to Summer to linger for as long as possible so we can all be uplifted and feel a little happier. Love the title of the poem, the visual detail and how the poem is expressed. It will linger on the reader's mind long after it is read! Thank you for sharing, Gee...

Thanks Marie, glad you enjoyed reading this simple rhyming offering. And yes, please may summer linger on :)

[Marie]

Most welcome, Gee. I so agree and pray Summer lingers on and on and on too :)

It is still spring here but it has been touched by summers sun here and there. I love the beautiful colors of spring flower and the trees now have fully bloomed and there leaves are lush and full. We have had a lot of rainy days.

I loved this nature filled poem
