On Summer

Apollo is a trendy dude

His radiant splendour cheers our mood

Solar energy is life food!

Warm June is here!

Those brilliant sunsets are a treat

Long soirées: time to meet and greet;

Where artists painted fields of wheat*

In midnight clear.

 

This bright light makes our worries fade

Chase out those dark thoughts that invade;

Why stand forever in the shade?

Embrace bright gold!

Think picnics, BBQ delights;

The magic of long, starry nights*

When we put the world to rights;

Hope's stance is bold!
