Summer Friend Poem by Folayemi Akande

Sonnet 10: Summer Friend

This time of May it was summer's day
Thou heist the ensile of the farmer's hay
At thy sunny glow all fields all blae
In thy mystique hands our bread we pray.

The goddess sun wink thy sillvery sheen
Thy eternal summer is all we seek
Before our fields in all fall asick
Or poke a smirk from thy soft, mild chin.

Let the gold gong of the summer dong
Lulus song of thy name sing we may
Before thy short brow hath elsewhere long
And make us not summer's buds of prey.

Fairest, kind and truest summer friend
Your wholest prim grace do lease or lend.
