Dear and Lovely Summer

The length draws tightly to a close Light wakes slower from its doze   Flights of clouds draw in closer North the air sails cold and bitter   Yellow branches hang in array Blue brighter, clearer, and gay   Pages opened upon laps of wonder Afternoon passes with growing slumber   Warmth abundant, nightly chill Moisture in air, wind on hill   Gaily, freely, children ran Under sunlight’s golden hands   Goodbye to thee! Goodbye to thee!   Dear and lovely summer!

I really liked this, especially the end, "Goodbye to thee/ goodbye to thee/ dear and lovely summer!" Makes me want to say it out loud. Very sweet, and lovely. :)

Wonderful rhythm, really sweet! Great job!

I'm with Hannah W. on this one.  "Goodbye to thee, Goodbye to thee, dear and lovely summer!"   I think I'll go stand at the top of the hill in front of my house and sing that out over the valley and the woods.  Reminds me of Anne of Green Gables.  Lovely!

Brother: Your character should drive a motorcycle.
Me: He can't. He's in the wilderness.
Brother: Then make it a four-wheel-drive motorcycle!
