Today I Love Thoughts of Summer - Slice of Life 2014




Thanks to the good people at Two Writing Teachers for sponsoring the Slice of Life Story Challenge.  Today is Day 17 and I am continuing to challenge myself with poetry.  As The Man and I did some backyard clean up last week, I came across this gem and it got me thinking about warm days past...and hopefully yet to come.  



Thoughts of Summer...



I found you 

       after the snow melt 

Winter's rapid onset left you

             abandoned 

     at your post

Then Winter's winds tossed you

     to the ground

I remember you
Your vibrancy
Your sweet reflection
Your silent call

I remember your visitors
 
   Buzzing
           
                Zipping

    Zooming     
                                                         
          Silently 
                                                                           of
                   Sipping                          Flashes
                                                                                  Emerald
                                 Dipping
