Summer, Come Soon!

 Looking out the window, dreary 

Autumn leaves and cold rain, weary 

Winter's snowfall, eyes all bleary 

Spring's new flowers, soon in theory

Summer, come soon!

   

Counting rain drops, splat and splick

 Lighting pumpkins, candle's wick 

Skate and sled, icy slick 

Glove and bat will do the trick

Summer, come soon!   

Squirrels squawk and gather food 

Swallows fly south, winter elude 

Bears slumber, seven months subdued

 Frogs burrow deep, mud covered, renewed

Summer, come soon!   

Branches breathing, leaves to wake 

Flowers blooming, petals to make 

Sunshine stretching, winter's spell to break 

Changing, warming, make no mistake

Summer, come soon!

• drooping
