Poetry Practice: Longing For Summer

Indian Summers beckon with a whispering call,  
Longing for warmth without winter's hall.  
Imagining bare feet on sun-kissed ground,  
Embraced by nature's vibrant sound.  

Sunset hues paint the sky in a vivid display,  
Transitioning from winter's gray into a colorful array.  
Laughter and joy in the balmy air,  
Gathered 'round bonfires, without a care.  

Glistening waterfalls, a refreshing sight,  
Hiking through forests, bathed in sunlight.  
Picnics in meadows under azure skies,  
Cycling through fields as nature lies.  

Indian Summers promise adventure anew,  
A season of happiness under skies so blue.  
Longing for those moments that make spirits soar,  
Summer's loving embrace, forevermore.

  • Wisp Wind

    You've left me alone

    But the world keeps on spinning

    I am bleeding endlessly.

    And I don’t know what to do.

    I forget the color of your eyes

    And the smell of your mountain breath.

  • Red Clover

    I dream of him less than I used to – 

    But our story always starts the same. 

    I am small, and his oil-stained hands hold me like the Red Clover, 

    So tightly that I think he’ll never let me go. 

  • Blue Hour

    It is 4 in the morning and I am alone.

    I sit my sadness on the willow tree.

    And the Earth is covered in a thousand shards of heaven;

    Like a kaleidoscope, rainbows fall through the trees.
