My Love of Summer
How does summer fly?
Warmth of days gone by
Outdoors
Barbeques imply
Tasty chicken thigh
No chores
Scents waft to the sky
Past a loud magpie
Autumn I’ll defy
Sunset we decry
Hawk soars
Weather is bone dry
Cherish mid-July
Lake shores
Warmth of days gone by
How does summer fly?

A lovely write Linda, really looking forward to Summer now! 🌞
A joyful poem, well written for both prompts.
Thanks! I really do love summer.
I lament the passing of spring even more… but you are right, the beautiful parts in life always slips away.
It goes way too fast, and you transitioned the seasons well.
It starts too late and ends too early.
I salute you, Linda. You did it and even got it to sound like a poem by bringing it full circle. Bravo.
Thanks.
Summers go by so fast and winters never seem to end but always do.
So true. Even the seemingly endless winter in Narnia finally did end when Aslan came. 🙂
Lovely write!
Thank you.
Your favorite season is almost here! I enjoyed your poem!
I know! I can’t wait!
Good job! This form looks really hard to me but you make it look effortless–like summer should be! (K)
Thanks! I love new poetry forms to try and this one was fun.
I felt this! Thank,you, Linda!
You’re welcome!
I look forward to those summer days of barbeque and outdoors fun. A lovely lai nouveau – the first I have read in the poetry trail. Thanks for joining in.
You handled the format well, and took us on a picnic toO!
Thanks. It was actually just out to my back deck. 😉 Summer is my favorite season and I enjoyed making it the subject of this Lai Nouveau.
