SUMMER LOVE SONNET - by Daniel Turner

SUMMER  LOVE  SONNET    by Daniel Turner What's not to love about a summer day ? Kissed by the sun, the warmth of its embrace To feel the cleanse from sweat at work and play While honeysuckle breezes cool my face With hillsides blanketed in purple vetch Magenta morning glories and light blues Imagine all the butterflies they fetch A scene to romance any poet's muse But when it gets too hot, I seek the shade Barefoot in clover 'neath tall sycamores Or take a watermelon down to wade A spring fed creek, to cool, while I explore That evening, in the swing, I watch  fireflies Then pray I wake to see one more sunrise
