Sunny Saturday

Sunny Saturday

A Poem by Antonionioni
"

It's what it says in the title - with supercharged alliteration

"

A surprisingly sunny Saturday

Spent splishing splashing in a swimming pool

Stuffing sausages sat in some café

Skin slowly sizzling in the sun, such cool

Wind swishing swirling shaking shrubs so full

With spring and summer supplements of green

From seeds to shoots to stalks to stamens, all

Supplanting sad and shady winter scenes

The surefire supposition should, it seems

Suggest the sunshine shall subside by May

Shall turn sour, shower-soaked summer’s stern misrule

Submerging streets and smiles, suppressing dreams

So savour the sunshine and seize the day

Soon solid skies shall smear our shining jewel

Author's Note

Antonionioni
Prophetic words, alas. Yesterday - Saturday - was sunny, though windy, and today - Sunday - is cloudy and windy.

Love it! Wow - that must have been a bit difficult to write. XD Alliterations are always fun, though I don't think I've ever seen one quite this intense. Great job making this work & sound so natural. (:
