Sing Songs to Summer's Memory

by adewpearl


Sing songs to summer's memory
when shooting stars streak out of sight
and seem a dream illusory
to punctuate the sultry night.

When day gives way to autumn chill,
sing songs to summer's memory,
a time when sun its warmth will spill
with spirited delivery.

Hope thrives on possibility,
so when the winds of winter blow,
sing songs to summer's memory,
and with their notes you'll melt the snow.

There is no need for special powers,
for witch's spell or wizardry --
to find a field of sunlit flowers
sing songs to summer's memory.

Recognized


A quatern is a poem consisting of four quatrains with each line consisting of eight syllables. The first line of the first verse becomes the second line of the second verse, then the third line of the third verse, and finally the fourth line of the last verse. I have written this quatern in abab rhyme scheme, but that is not a requirement.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
