SUMMER

A day begins with the sunrise

piercing through the fading purple sky.

Cool air becomes warmer

when the sun shines brighter.

As the day grows by the hour,

warmth becomes heat;

when the clock by noon ticks

then one, two, three o’clock reached,

the heat turns to a feverish level;

but the winds give comfort well.

Trees and leaves sway with the breeze

fanning the heat away with a gentle wheeze.

Then the sun sets leaving a heated earth;

hesitating, with a gradually fading ardor,

cooling down as night comes forth.
