 The lovliness of Summer blooms just now Playing my heartstrings gently like a bow The world itself dreams in drowsiness dazed In the sultry dusk fields are purple hazed Twilight half closes sleepy eyes From the dewy meadows white mists arise The air is heavy with the scent of flowers Their perfume invading the sunset hours And bright against the garden wall The Wisteria's purple arches fall Where dappled verdant leaves cascade Creating a breathless summer shade So the summer magic spell is cast Providing Mother Nature's repast Where nectar little butterflies entice In mauve and scented paradise Faintly, far away, a cuckoo calls In the quietude night softly falls And I think what a joy it is to share The scent of evening in the air...

hello Heart2heart, this is why poetry is made, to share sensations that give the sense of living... Twilight half closes sleepy eyes From the dewy meadows white mists arise The air is heavy with the scent of flowers Their perfume invading the sunset hours these sensations are delicious and sweet... thanks for the poem. yann |

Oh, this is such a delightful read, so rich in fragrance and colors, dear Katriona. Summer essence I will call it. And the picture ... well a little extra gift to me, that's how it feels, Margrit/Daisy! Inhaling deeply. Love, Margherita |

Why thanks dear Ida, most of the pictures I find on flickr.com, although I sometimes use my daughter's, she is a wonderful photographer and also posts on flickr.com (sharing site). Katriona |
