Worth It All..To a Summer Day or a Poem

This is the first poem for Poetic Bloomings Poem-a-day Chapbook Prompt .

Prompt taken from the song Summer Breeze.

 Happy July 1st! And Happy Canada Day to those of us in this 'True North Strong and Free'.

For all the expectations that I have from you

You always surprise me with new ways to

Showcase the old

And I know I will never tire of being on the lookout

For fresh arrangements of

Blue-purple-green-gold

The world is filled with kindred spirits

But the trick and the joy

Is discovering them

As long as I live I will never grow weary

Of summer days

Preserved in poem

Darling, come, lets pulls our green-grass chairs

Out to the wide-open

Ink-well fell

And wait to see what old, new arrangements

Transpire.

We never can tell

The flower bouquets we have picked then strewn

To the floor of time’s summer-day

Banquet hall

Makes one glad to be alive where June

Has a way of making winter

Worth it all
