Summerless Summer

  • Transcript

    The giddy children are eager to play
    Animals too bask in the grass-warming heat
    All feels right on this average summer day
    The slight summer breeze, generous nature's treat

    Adults oversee with smiles of past
    As Summer takes flight on warm and sweet wings
    Memories are made that will surely last
    While all partake in the joy Summer brings

    But as this goes on, I watch from afar
    Through the concrete windows of my round tomb
    When I will soon get out, no sun but stars
    This summer day wasted will be my doom

    I hear summer call to let my hair down
    In my windowless tower, Summer drowns

    This was motivated by me being stuck in my windowless dome of a high school during summer.

    Nice word pictures in this - "smiles of past" is very poignant.
