You described mother nature perfectly in your remarkable poem. Love the interesting fact about the bees surrounding their queen to keep her warm during the winter. Very loyal little bees. Your poem is amazing.

    Thank you Samantha for your lovely review as I was writing this about blossoms in the summer that made me wonder what bees do in the winter. So I looked it up and decided to relay it my notes.

couplets within each verse.
-A very good opening verse with effective personification.

with many varied elements of nature.

Excellent commentary about summer. You've managed to cover it all. You have many outstanding poetic lines in this poem and your rhymes and meter are strong.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one Pam.

Your comment about the worker bees huddling around the queen bee fascinated me. Mother Nature teaches me something new every day.
Just read this again. It truly is magnificent. Your descriptions of the journey through the day are almost visible in your words. This is poetry as it should be written and so deserving of it's six stars.

Hi Pam,

What a truly lovely poem you have penned here. Seasons changing from summer to fall is now late in coming to Texas this year. Finally we got some much needed rain and cooler weather. It's been unseasonably warm and and dry this year but now a change has finally come. Your beautiful poem is timely as it is beautiful. Lovely oleander blooms to enhance your work added so much.

Your gentle rhymes are not contrived and flow impeccably down the page. I thoroughly enjoyed this timeless poem.

Senyai

This is a gorgeous 'memory' of summer! Oh take me back, although in Ireland we had a pretty terrible summer weather wise this year! So take my to next summer and I'll hope for the best lol!
I love the scenes that you have captured, beautiful. And the little fun fact about the bee's! Well done
Best Wishes
Nicki

    Hi Nicki. yeah may be summer is relative because maybe Ireland doesn't have a summer. I think it does, but I think it's shorter than most everywhere else. Thank you for your lovely review.
