summer sonnet

 

~

 

spring poems, buzzing bees,

fill the heart and page with hope,

and rightly so, and now

that spring has turned to summer,

and with summer summer heat,

where are the poems of hope?

here we are, settled in, already

the days are growing shorter, 

the heady brew of spring become

the steamy froth of work,

the kind that comes day by day,

with its rewards, true enough,

and its hardships, true enough,

and the bees' knees are thick with pollen.

I like this one a lot, Pony. The writing may be your most poetic, and it's a happy poem, full of hope and pleasant images. It's refreshing to read one like that.

Very beautiful. I always loved the saying "you are the bee's knees". I am sure that poems of summer hope will fly out soon :)

Summer , time , lazy times , time to take the ease , time to a rest from reality? Siton a hill , with a an intamit freid , full mooon above , aromer of freshly cut grass , filling the sences? Like loooining complet? Forgeting lifes ralerys? As like beeing in a stuper of summer time?
