I tried to write a soft summer poem.

Yes, the summer was pleasant

Not very long ago

The sum beamed a radiant orange; wow!

And gently tapped the snow

The doting summer blew its breath

It sanctified the earth

Vanquished the killer germs, it did

Scorched them at birth.                                            

The summer that shined on us

Once upon a time

Now it is a cynic

For it has lost its prime.

And the pretty sunrays

Are turning quite unkind

The tender breeze has blown astray

Its path we do not find.

The glowering rays now sear the grass

They do not kiss the flower

It wilts, oh! In sheer despair

And blight the summer hour.

The sweat of brow that could not drop

On the parched brown earth

Dried midway, crops did not sing

The merry note of birth.

The ripe fruit that gaily dropped.

On the lush green field

The trees are tired and disinclined                                                                                 

No more ready to yield

The world too has come of age                                         

It knows the right and wrong

They why does it not cease to ring

That earth rattling gong?

    You picked some very good words to describe the summer. The imagery of the parched land will stay with me today.
