The creak of the old wood swing, the screen door letting in out, katydids slowing down a molasses day, and crickets trying to find the cool of a basement mourning doves who wake me gentle, smell of balmy coming through the blinds, and misting roses so I can stand in the floating spray are we there yet echoes from a station wagon modernized, counting down the white strips to home hummingbird giggles fade as a sultry moon shimmers gold, waking up the stars these are summer sounds to enjoy now [This message has been edited by Sunshine (08-08-2003 06:42 AM).] |

Karilea, what a beautiful poem this is to take the fall down the page so quickly. Well, it's back up there now.  Hugs  Ethel |

Thank you for reminding of these summer sounds. I believe I have been too preoccupied with my "summer of discontent" to have breathed the sounds and sights of the season. I think I shall venture outside this evening and take walk in summer's freedom. Very lovely! Patricia |

Wow, Karilea, yes I hear these summer sounds too .... especially the crickets! We have been to the park this morning (early because otherwise it is just too hot) and the concert was unbelievably noisy! My husband found that there was nobody around and I said "listen"! Thank you for the lovely summersounds. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Hello Karilea I can only live Summer through your beautiful words thankfully. It is going to be less than 10 degrees celcius here in Melbourne today but your words made me feel warm, thank you. Take care......Sue I am in motion |

Hey...I looked up 10C today for another "down under" poet and that's 50F in our temps...and "up here" in our neck of the woods, that's comfortable! LOL...so I'm glad I gave you a bit of summer...for all my downunder friends! A huge thanks to all my poet friends who click in and read, and take time to comment. It means more than you know! I don't often get back to respond to my own...because I'm out, reading yours!  to my poets![This message has been edited by Sunshine (08-08-2003 07:15 PM).] |

I really love summer... But then, I love every season... This summer hasn't felt too much like a usual summer, which is good and bad. It's not quite so hot here in Ohio as last year, but the mosquitoes are TERRIBLE because of all the rain we've had! “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |
