Summer enters slowly
Through the season's open gate.
And sometimes coyly,
Summer makes you wait.

Summer passes through regaled
In green and blue and white.
She'll throw a starry blanket on at night.

In August, summer pauses,
As though it plans to stay,
Slowly marking time, as day
Follows long, sunny day.

Summer tempts you to suppose
It will linger on and on.
And then one day you wake up,
To find that Summer's gone.

I am really enjoying your work. This piece has that simple, though brilliant, construction that seems to fall so easily to you. An interesting look at summer's scene.
