A Sweet Summer Song Poem by Shelley L Baxter
A Sweet Summer Song
As purple blossoms glisten in the rain,
the birds chirp their sweet summer song.
Lingering scents of lilac delights my senses,
so I close my eyes and ponder thoughts of you.
I hear the hum of racing cars speeding to unknown places.
Loud vehicles hauntingly surreal yet far off in a distance.
As I lean back in the lounge submerging myself
into natures enchanting chirps,
the light misty drizzle lands on my exposed skin,
each tiny dropp fills me with endless hope!
A new season has begun with blue skies and happiness;
the heavens open up and shine on me!
While the world goes by I dream of you!
I know you’re the one for me....
I feel so blessed that you have been waiting for me too!

I was beginning to think that summer didn't happen here in Canada, but today is absolutely gorgeous! This poem is beautiful!
I agree with both of my poet friends here and as I said previously, you are a special poet, a poetic artist at work. Fabulous Shelley--Melvina--
Shelly, this is a lovely poem with a flow that just carries you along as you read. You have a sharp eye for detail that makes the imagery stand out. Great write my friend. Top marks from me. Thanks for sharing it my friend. David.
