Watermelon Days with Sunny Rays

Hot Summer Days where Children play along 

the Shore where Seagulls fly above the Waves... 

Sand dollars are worth more than nuggets of Gold 

Picnic Baskets that Mothers brought with 

Cold drinks and  sandwiches... 

will now be replaced with Chrysanthemums 

when Autumn arrives...  Amen

Dear Pat, you create the most beautiful memories, ones to hold close - as all the best ones are.
I recall times like that when the family was complete with splash and sun, picnic - Summer at its very best. Soon - as you rightly say, comes the Chrysanthemums, the depth of their colours - plus their perfume. For me there is nothing better than that .. its earthy, real and long, lasting wonderful!

Helpline busy.. wish I could give out a few bunches! Thank you for sharing yet another of your lovely poetry. Love to you and Roger, hoping time will be kind to you this week.

How very kind. Some say otherwise, Pat.. depends on what and how they think. Can but try. Yes? Cooking cakes, four on the go, dashing down to see how they are. No cinders to show - as yet!
Smiles flying over a restless ocean today! Hugs

Sand dollars are worth more than nuggets of Gold

Your work is always such a wonderful walk in a virtual garden. Sand dollars are worth more than their mercantile namesake ... I agree:)

dearest Pryde... so wonderful to hear from you... as though I have travelled far to knock on your Door... as Autumn has drifted across the Sky to surmise the Wisdom of the Seasons where Fireside Chats are quite Relaxing with a friend or two. softly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wonderful depictions and hopeful instructions.
You blend poetry with mesmerizing beauty.

dearest Sami... the Crepe Myrtle Trees still have blossoms which seem to be Kisses until they sleep in Romantic dreams until they return next year. Lovely to read your words. gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Kisses are plentiful and needed for everything. You are welcome.

Patricia, your brevity speaks volumes of crisp emotions that warms one's ears and made me reach for some light that I could literally grasp and hold dear. So simple in verse, but profound in heart.

dear Poet Miller... your review has been a bouquet of Gladiolas... as they bring Joy and Generosity to our Heart Fondly, Pat

Love this one Pat it evokes memories in us all I’m sure

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Julie.. Watermelons are the most refreshing Treat.. especially in the Heat. Be Cool in the Shade of an Apple Tree... my friend. softly, Pat

The scenes you depict are reflective of the seasons and how apt is the title watermelon days.. nice imagery Pat.

dearest Andrew... a Watermelon gives us many Seeds to share in Deeds of Harmony. Be Brave and Pray for Peace, Amen.. Pat
