cattails and daisies
blow in the breeze
butterflies flit about
while birds sing in trees
frogs leap on lily pads
honey bees buzz around
dragonflies go whizzing by
as ants march along
a small brook is babbling
a wide river roars
fluffy clouds go sailing by
a mighty eagle soars
sunny rays on summer days
soak up early dew
honeysuckle fills the air
and mourning doves coo
the willow is weeping
while whippoorwills sing
by the waterfalls in the forest
the fairy bells ring

I like this! It dances right off the page, and makes me want to run around outside and immerse myself in Nature.

I'm so pleased that this poem was received so well by all of you. I happen to love this poem myself and read it when I want to recapture the magic of the summer days of my childhood.

Love, Light & Laughter

Yes, yes, I do like it, lots! Lovely, scrumptious summer images.

You know, if you select "200 poems per page at the top" this was only on page 2, not so far back, that way. Of course then there's only 3 pages total. Now, though, it is back to page one at the top for you!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

VAS----Thank you so very much for bringing SUMMER DAYS back into the light of day! Wow! From page 15 up to the top of page one!

I love writing poems and songs for children. It is a passion of mine. This particular poem is one of my personal favourites.

MidniteSon---Exactly! That is exactly what
             I wanted you to feel like. I
             love nature and its beauty
             it seen through the eyes
             of children. In this case, my
             inner child!
