As For Summer

So often disappointing.

As For Summer

Where has it gone?

It comes with such promise,

but much like 'love'

it often fails to ignite

and simply fizzles out,

a damp squib

with no bang.

It leaves so quietly

by the back door

through which

the gales of autumn rage.

And we are left

simply wondering,

when will we

feel warm again.

Summer has disappointed me this year, most definitely! It keeps changing in temperature so often and rain pours instead of sun shining. And then it is so brief and abruptly goes. One day it is hot, the next day you are shivering.

The new world Nadia where the climate is so disrupted. Many thanks.

yep sounds like the typical british summertime to me, well said John :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Indeed and I hate to say it is proving itself yet again lol. Cheers Richard.

Oh the joy of the British summer lol...i remember them well as soon as the sun poked its heads through those clouds we all ran out to catch it...lol

[John Alexander McFadyen]

And you would have to be quick to do so now Sereena. Many thanks.

Its just not Great Britain without grey moody clouds over castle's lakes and knights searching for the Holy Grail. A nice poem and nice picture lol

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thanks again Andrew!

I use to live in a similar environment. So many years the wish and hope for summer faded with little fanfare. Nice write as you roll on. Hahaha

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Think I shall call it as day. Ten writes and all simply flowing in the silence. Thanks Willard.

As the lord would have said, "Good work oh loyal and faithful servant".

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I lied. One more!

[Willard Wells]

Of course. Our minds decide when we are done and not us.

Shows how time is fleeting with every passing second. We cannot get enough of every season . It's so short-lived.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

So true FCB. Many thanks!

The seasons are fleeting more and more every year. The nostalgia of this seemingly brings it to a pause for me.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

True but I guess if I am truthful I make the most of every warm day I am given. Thank you Kelly.

[wordman]

[John Alexander McFadyen]
