Breathe the joy of summer for one more day <br />Bask in the shade of accommodating trees <br />Smell the sweet fragrance of lilies and roses <br />Watch, as golden nectar is gathered by bees <br /> <br />The blueness of the sky is calm and peaceful <br />Elongating wisps of chalky white smoke trails <br />Streak silently across the highest elevations <br />A glint of sliver leads the heavenly portrayal <br /> <br />Young sidewalk artists add a dazzling flavor <br />Rainbows and butterflies decorate the concrete <br />Outlines of elephants and tigers roam carefree <br />Ex outsmarts circle with a diagonal defeat <br /> <br />Crowns of branches are brushed with tinges of gold <br />Breezes intensify as leaves cascade to the ground <br />Dark rain clouds invade, erasing summer fantasies <br />Cooling joyful summer dreams as the rain pounds <br /> <br />9/8/07<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/last-days-of-summer/
