Rolling hills, verdant, green, azure skies of blue, white puffy clouds float along with the breeze, ah, summer, I’ve been waiting, for you. Flowers decorate the meadows below, a sea of white, they are nature’s reflection. Oh, how I long to get lost, in the glow, of Heaven’s purest perfection. The scent in the air, breathes my thoughts to the wind, pondering, where this season rescinds; the warmth of her touch, giving in to the fall, oh, summer, you’re not nearly long enough, at all. So I shall plant, this image in my head, dream of these days, when winter, instead, has brought in the frost, to cover the land, and pray once again, for sweet summer, so grand.

 

I combined Sue’s #writephoto and ~M’s Daily Writing Prompt  🙂

This is my entry for KaylaAnn’s End of Summer Poetry Contest.  I hope you enjoy  🙂  Info for the contest can be found HERE


The fire burned, ever so slowly
We watched, as flames grew high

Each stick thrown into the pile
Seemed to let out a hideous cry

As the fiery mass engulfed it
Soon turned it to soot and ash

Then a chill in the air sent a shiver
A reminder, that summer had passed

Sadly, she was making her exit
All we had were memories to pack

Autumn made herself be known
Now, all we could do was look back

To the warmth of the sunlit days
And oh, how the nights did sizzle

Cooler breezes now come this way
As we watched the firelight fizzle

Sylvia’s Secrets ~ #JuneWriting #poetry

Each day she would steal to the forest

Fold her hands in a silent prayer

Close her eyes, tilt her head up

And hope no one was listening there

The forest held all her secrets

Every day brought another to light

Sylvia’s past always haunted her

She came here, to makes things right

Silently whispering among fallen leaves

For autumn had come early, this time

Verses, only the knowing could hear

Her paradox, written in rhyme

I’m excited to announce, the second book in my Haiku series, Seasons ~ Winter Haiku, is now available on Amazon (in paperback only)!  I hope you’ll enjoy reading it!  The cover art is a photo I took this past winter (I’m hoping it has passed at this point!).  I’d be ever so grateful if you should decide to share/reblog.  I thank you kindly, in advance!   ❤

This book contains 50 haiku and is described as:

Winter ~ Colors fade away, changing from gray, into covered mounds of pure white snow. From December til March we brace for the lasting chill in the air, impatiently awaiting the first signs of warmth. The haiku in this book take you from the last days of autumn, through the blustery days of winter and into the hopeful days of spring ahead.

Here is the link for this book – Seasons ~ Winter Haiku – Book Two

This is the link for – Seasons ~ Autumn Haiku – Book One
