Summer days are water colors and floral fabrics a gauzy linen painted in pastels even the breeze blows a cool porcelain blue. A whisper of baby's breath reminds me of the innocence of youth like sweet peas wild abandon in all their assorted merriment un-arranged in their simple beauty. Summer sways over fields of lavender offset by the slant of sun and white cotton clouds stirring the stillness and wisp of wishes. Those days are crystal clear like a floral imprint ruffled around the edges. Summer strays and yellow roses still appeal to me perhaps with more meaning. The unfolding so delicate and pure so reassuring so unexpected so easy on my eyes. Like a long and winding road I will always miss you when summer comes into play and my garden is in bloom I will sing in the sunshine and hold you in my arms forgetting you not. Summer stays, like a daisy chain connects us to the past and present by the gifts we give of ourselves blessed by the moments we shared however fleeting they may be. As golden rod fills the emptiness with a promise less enchanting a mixed bouquet more vivid than I remember. |

"Summer stays, like a daisy chain connects us to the past and present by the gifts we give of ourselves blessed by the moments we shared however fleeting they may be." Very true. I could feel many senses in this work. |

Bluesy - how lovely to read this as we shiver here in the middle of winter but that aside your write paints a picture we can all relate to and sends a meaningful message. Oh, and your poetic efforts are always worthwhile! Love Helen |

I would love to comment on this exquisite poem but don't know what more I can add. I drink in your imagery as if it were champagne. This definitely calls for many encores. |

I'd love to sit in your garden with you...even if it's a garden of your words, or especially because of that, it's lovely! |

grand-fine mix of Summertime Impressionism and Romanticism (wonderful imagery) ! [for me, like the effect of a Van Gogh painting] ... MUCH sustained applause for this 'penning' !! |
