Dreams on a Winter's Night

  1. The smell of freshly-cut grass,
    the soothing touch of swimming pool water,
    the sweet, sweet sonnet of blue robins returning to discarded nests,
    is summer finally here?

    Listening for the drip drop of melting snow,
    watching for the parting clouds,
    surprised to see the awakening sun
    after months of chilly day and night.

    Waiting and wishing,
    hoping and dreaming,
    woolgathering between warm sheets
    deep in thought about the refreshing weather

    People mentally tallying the days,
    crossing off day after winter day

    Excitement is building
    for surely summer is here!

    The days have become longer,
    the nights shorter and warmer.
    The sun rises higher and higher,
    drenching the frozen earth in her light.

    Soon the insects buzz and chirp,
    playgrounds fill with laughter and fun
    relieved smiles sported on weary teachers
    All the creatures and people rejoice
    because summer is finally here!
