Summers smell

[cat]

Hi guys i know i'm a bit late for summer now but i thought i'd share this poem i wrote earlier in the year with you.

Summers smell

The scent of summer is on the air
like a lovers kiss it lingers there
Hear rising song from Nightingale
now summers sun no winters hail

The Elderflower it's blooms so white
bring promise of strong summer light
Now shimmering heat upon the breeze
ignites the busy worker bees

The hawk does saw in the sky
with amazing grace way up high
and in the fields the grass is mown
a smell so sweet of hay and loam



.

[Lily]

Considering the past few days have brought us autumn where I am, here's my answer

The scent of autumn has come in the air
like a farewell of lovers it lingers there
hear the harrier’s call prevail
soon languid sun will winter hail

The Elderberries blackened and grave
Have harvested the light that summer gave
The heat that was once upon the breeze
now captured in the hives of bees

The crow does soar now in the sky
black shining grace away up high
and in the fields the corn is gone
a promise of sustenance – and home

Ok hows about,

The scent of autumn is on the air
with dew clad webs it lingers there
Hear clustered squawks from starlings beaks
fly through the sky like shimmering freaks

The Elderberry now ripe and deep
into my pores it juices seep
and in the vat it does ferment
into a wine for drinking meant

For now the sun is sinking down
and golden leaves on trees do crown
as whispering winds now power gain
bring stormy weather and heavy rain

After coming in from a beautiful walk in the misty, rainy, woods I really enjoyed reading the Summer and Autumn poems....it seemed a mix of both scents and sights were alive in the tress today Thanks for sharing those!

No question, cat - you're the better poem. The first one was yours so no wonder the second one flows from it....

Hey poets, both were beautiful poems!
I love this time of year when summer starts to move into autumn, you have both captured the moment

hi
Thanks for the kind coments

Lily I'd wouldn't of written the autum version if you hadn't of posted. Both our poems have a diffrent feel to them. Its good to see diffrent styles and express emotions though poetry. I love autum and fungi and fruit ect ,

i'd much like to have a better rhyme for beaks though. I do wish we could center justifie text on here as it looks odd all left justified.
I much prefer the summer version to the autum one as the first came to me (whilst out riding my motorcycle) where as the second i had to think about more. Strange how inspiration strikes,

Wonderful! Thank you all for sharing those =)

The last few mornings have definitely had that autumn-y energy in the air ... I love feeling the shift in the season. Can't wait for the leaves to start turning, it's always so beautiful.
