OF SUMMER

An ode here we pen

Of Summer, the season of warmth and abundance,
One that brings with it a sense of joy and rejuvenation
As the days grow longer and the sun shines brighter,
Into full bloom, the nature bursts
And the poet in me wakes from deep slumber
To an array of vibrant and picturesque scenes
and capture in our verses the season's allure
and its impact on our senses.
This enchanting season opens vistas of opportunities
To rest, to play and to reflect
So, let’s enjoy the sunny months
The season of warmth and vibrance
