An idle summer sun

A very poor summer in to the UK, much water falling !

You should not be tired, not this year
for you have barely risen at all,
you have lazed whilst teeming skies of grey
washed this summer to the fall,
yet still you deem it right to leave
and cede warmth to wet and drear,
leaving all behind in your lazy wake
to mourn another sun less year.

A Saturday morning quickie written whilst she that must be obeyed sleeps soundly :)

This poem brought to mind Louis Armstrong singing "That lucky old sun" A great personification that puts a smile on my face. In its brevity it speaks vollumes. So nicely worded Lovely Gee

Thanks Siren. Always appreciate your visits

[Ken Simm.]

Such arrogant personification. I love it.

Good morrning from a dark and wet Milton Keynes.
Thanks Ken.
Hope you are well

Did you know that Milton Keynes is an anagram for on my kilt? And you are very welcome from a typical highlands.

I think "she who must be obeyed" would enjoy your quick poem, Gee, as I would think, she too would like more sunshine. Goes to show you how much I know about the UK, I always thought that it was always rainy and overcast there. Here, in the "colony" across the pond, After almost 2 weeks of rain and gloom, we had our first day of sunshine (though only briefly) yesterday. But, today is supposed to be sunny!! Nicely written Gee. Hope your sun arrives soon!! Curt

Thank you Curt, here's hoping your weather brightens sooner rather than later

You have captured our almost sunless Summer superbly in this succinct and wonderful write, dear Gee. Like an artist, you sublimely painted the very mixed weather we received and sadly, it looks as though Autumn isn't going to be as sunny either as we had hoped for. But compared with the weather disasters other countries faced, we are truly lucky not to have experienced the same! I love this poem and thank you for sharing it, dear Gee. Lovely work!

[Gee]

Thank you Marie.
Glad you are on the mend/mended:)
