Summertime - anticipated <br />Warm days and sultry nights <br />Summertime - now eagerly awaited <br />Enjoy the sounds and scents and sights <br /> <br />Summer time of leisure and of pleasure <br />Holidays and journeys to new climes <br />To seek to see the world and all its treasures <br />To see trees full of lemons and of limes. <br /> <br />Summertime the joy of sunny days <br />Horrors of Winter all forgotten <br />To walk in mud free lanes and nature praise <br />All things fresh - nothing decayed or rotten. <br /> <br />Summertime please stay with us for ever <br />Autumn's beauty is offset with wind and rain <br />August come she must - September a glowing ember <br />Summer please promise us in nine months time <br />You will be born again! ! !<br /><br />John Knight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/00015-summer-comes-goes/
