Let's tidy up the clouds,
fold them all away
Hide in nature's drawers 'til
the end of day
And help the wind to ease its
limbs gently float on by
Then iron wrinkled creases in
the big blue sky.
Let's call to the summer sun
explain we want to play
Shine the cheerful yellow
face, 'til the end of day.
Winters' cold, Winters' bleak
and Winter lasts too long
Come on shy summer, come back
where you belong
The rain and snow must go to
bed, away from our sight
Let the warmth smile at us
with heat so very bright.
Distant fog and freezing
sleet will quickly pass away
As, swiftly nervous sun
creeps in, 'til the end of day.

Linda, I guess I'm a little odd. I'd rather brave the winter weather here in ?New ?York than suffer through Summer's heat. Of course Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons. Great job.

ReplyDeleteDear Linda,
ReplyDeleteI love the way you describe Winter have to step aside for the Summer Sun. Especially ironing a clear blue sky to allow the sun to come out.
Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes,

Nice work, thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of folding clouds like sheets and putting them in the drawer! Great images! Summer is almost upon us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and creative poem this is, Linda! Looks like our Maltese clouds have already been ironed and put away in drawers! Best regards // paul
