Summer Sundials

Lovers embrace in the afternoon with sips of woodsy wines entangled in passion

Romance dances on the sea as 

the breeze brings the scent of peonies 

to the veranda where I tiptoe to your lips 

of tender sweet desire... 

the taste of strawberries and love... 

Seagulls sing a lullaby of sweet dreams as 

the summer sun sets leisurely on the 

horizon in shades of gold and rose etched  

with visions of voyages to stars and moons 

where life is beyond our wildest notions...

You would not believe how long I searched to find a Pat Poem as yet, not signed off by yours truly.... Characteristic form here from the Mistress of Romance.. and what could this reader want more than the taste of strawberries and love on his lips ..... Your last stanza reminds me so much of West Bay just down the road from me and one of those places I might often be found.. if I'm not in the Cafe that is......

dearest Neville... your review reminds me of the phrase... "Life is not measured in breathless moments... but in moments that take your breath away". We have enjoyed the sweetest strawberries this summer... I had forgotten this romantic poem and I thank you for your discovery. Your review takes my breath away. West Bay must surely be a place of sunset blessings ... truly, Pat

You are way more welcome than you might imagine dear Pat.. and yes.. West Bay has a little bit of my heart tucked away somewhere... Neville

The sea breeze, strawberries, and love.....ahhhhhh....the phrase, "tiptoe to your lips" is fantastic! Life is sweet on days such as this. Summer makes it all seem better. What a wonderful poem this is, Pat. The graphic of the high heeled shoes dangling is the perfect accompaniment to your words. Lydi**

dear Lydia, when I read your review of
Summer Sundials, I can hear the waves
rushing to the shore, where the sand glistens
like gold and romance lingers in our soul.
Thank you for your emerald sparkles. truly, Pat

venue to express the beauty of love.

read moredear Jacob, how can I compare your comments
to a summer day. The tenderness and quiet
compliment has settled on a special cloud
with a silver lining. Inspiration is like a
gentle breeze. A great way to end
Fathers Day as the sun is fading and
birds are winging their way home.
truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

the tenderness and quietness of your
feelings as Fathers Day fades into
the cherished memories of our fathers
Who left their footsteps for us to
ponder and perhaps celebrate. truly, Pat
