Summer Music--By David Austin--United States

Summer Music

      a morning bird
singing in a poplar tree
   comments endlessly
  
    her happy chatter
riding a warm southern breeze
     has no winter in it

        prelude to rapture
     spring’s brief recitative
 then sweet summer music

  5. David,
    You have captured the many wonderful sounds of summer. I also like the sound of rain tapping at my window at night, even if it is a thunderstorm.
    Your friend,
    David Fox
