Summer Stands Tall. Poem by Fay Slimm

Fay, nothing dry about your poem...full of burning summer images. A poem crafted in accurate observations.10/10 Ian

So true " But with Autumn's demands, summer must fall" . A good line for ending a simple yet potent poem.

Summer, Spring and Winter Falls and break like splinters Broken peaces came to end We as human cannot amend Take each piece as it own And cast its images into stone To Cherish each on a desired day None can do this as lady Fay.

A wonderfully perceptive picture of July. But somewhere in the distance, I can hear the subtle sound of a falling autumn leaf. Your superb last lines confirm this.10/10, my eloquent friend. Love, SandraX

Yes it's hot fay, but perfect summers day Andy 10

This poem is beautiful, Fay. I thought I was casting my eyes over a Shakespearean sonnet - iambic pentameter, the message in the closing couplet - a breathtaking piece! S :)
