This is summer joy:
The sizzling heat is cozy
The wind dabs our skin gently
The freshness of the beach perfumes the air
And the tide ebbs now and then
This is summer joy:
Time whizzes past
Those swimming did with less energy
Those tanning slept soundly
Those playing did gaily
Pets were active and joyous
And chirping birds sang nonstop
A sudden hail invades in high degrees
And a gripping eerie sensation raised our heartbeats
Where did summer joy go?
A massive ominous cloud hovers above… miles wide
The huge frozen rain dealt us terrible blows
And we ran for our dear lives
Yes, we ran helter-skelter for our lives
Where did summer joy go?

I love your poem. It is so true of how we drift apart from the people we used to love. I enjoy the physical elements feeding into the emotional components. Brilliant. xo

Great poem! ☺ I remember something similar few years ago in April. We witnessed all seasons in one day. A beautiful sunny day, rain and snow. But for April this is just something “normal” ☺
