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. |

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.
