In comes Summer <br />Days prolong <br />Sun blazes with full glow <br />Hot breeze scorches the vegetation <br />Ponds and nullahs dry up <br />Animals seek shelters <br />Birds pant, insects run <br />To their hidings below. <br /> <br />In comes Summer <br />Life insulates inside homes <br />Windows covered by chicks <br />And water- a natural coolant <br />Sprinkled on the floors. <br />Heat pricks. <br /> <br />In comes Summer <br />Hawking street vendors <br />Sell their art <br />And make colorful ice candies <br />Childern attracted <br />To their movable mart. <br /> <br />In comes Summer <br />Families gather in the evening <br />Kids dressed up in hues frolick. <br />Here comes Rock n Roll <br />Elderly laugh <br />Young boys and girls <br />Sing and dance <br />To take their chance <br />Cold drinks are distributed <br />As they leap over the summer pole. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(4/17/2009)<br /><br />Sameer Ahmed<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-preliminary-summer-song/
