the summer breeze
tickling my cheeks
ruffling my hair
and chilling my skin
the summer breeze
a break from the heat
that pours down from the sky
browning the land
and drying the water
the summer breeze
whisking across the grasses
rustling the forests
and waving the oceans
the summer breeze
is warm to start
with a scent of life
and a promise of sun
the summer breeze
cools off in the end
with a scent of death
and the promise of autumn
I love this.
Have you thought about playing around with it to see if you could make every line have exactly 3 words? I think that would be a fun experiment. Bear in mind, though – I know nothing about poetry, so that might be a terrible idea 🙂
Thanks! I’ll look into it 🙂
This reminds me of Summer Breeze, a song by Seals and Croft. You may know it, depending on your age, nationality, interest in pop music, etc, as it was out, actually, over forty years ago.But as soon as I finished reading this, that song began playing in my mind.
I’m not sure I know the song, but I’ll look it up 🙂
Very nice, Erica! Love, Grandma Jan
Thank you!
I love how this is written, I can feel the breeze. But I think Autumn is a time of maturity and ripening. Preparing for the next year, before the winter season of sleep.
Very well said, Autumn is a time for growing up isn’t it
Exactly, it’s of fulfillment as everything ripens and is picked or birds fly out. It’s a great time! ☺
It is! It’s one of my favorite seasons
Mine too. It’s easy to see why…
