Summer's Bride © Poem by Roann Mendriq

A woven veil, of fine gauze mist,
Spun cotton clouds, a dress of lace;
Peach plum lips, wait to be kissed,
Flower buds frame, her smiling face.

Breezes braid her wind blown hair,
to shining ropes of gilt edged silk,
Dewdrops splash without a care,
her skin of sweet strawberry milk.

Sunlight adorns her in pure light,
Golden jewels on her gleam;
Rays dance on her with delight,
bedecking her with pure sunbeam.

A wistful smile, in her bouquet,
for He who must give her away...
