Summer Smiles - Zoomit - Alphabet - Summer Stuffs - S

Standing silently on a summers night

Neath the light of the shimmering moon

Sprinkling of stars shining away

Sending signals of splendor to be seen soon

Suddenly the sky split in two

Splicing itself together again

As a sensational comet seared cross the sky

Screeching and smothered in flame

Soaring and swerving seeking a path

Saving the earth in it's groove

Sleeping soundly, stunned by the sight of

Sun Shining, summer stuff on the move

Elsie,

Whatever you write, I always come away with true enjoyment, or having learned something, but whichever it is, I so enjoy your writing.

I would think If I met you on the street, you would still talk in poetry. It flows out of your mouth so naturally. As I have always contended. You made me like poetry. Well some of it anyway.
