Your descriptions are so clear and lovely, they set the imagery in my mind of a beautiful sunny day surrounded by floral gardens as I sit here contemplating turning the heat up in my house!
The glorious moon is first to arrive.
Her moonbeams are bright and taking a dive.
The sounds of a loon can make the heart ache.
Their cries can be heard around the dark lake.
This is my favorite verse as it reminds me of my lake house in Maine on a summer evening.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Marilyn for this lovely detailed review
Comment from lyenochka
You must live in a warm climate state to have oleander growing. It's very poisonous so that home daycares cannot have them in the yards but they are very pretty and hardy. In Hawaii, I remember that the highway meridians had oleander growing.
Enjoyed your sweet musings on nature as it shifts from summer to autumn.

Comment from CM Pickard
First of all let me say that the vivid imagery in this piece is very immersive and effective. In a few places I felt like I was swapping between present and past, if that was unintentional, maybe look at that? Otherwise, your progression from day to night to day again is beautifully done.

Comment from Douglas Goff
You were just musing beautifully about summer. It is starting to get pretty cold here in Michigan. Praying for a lite quick winter, but the predictors are saying differently.
Nicely done!

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Pam.
You have successfully set up a picture of a mild summer day. You go through to the end of the day as sunsets, and you change the narrative but then the sun rises again, and you continue the narrative in a different setting. The poem is well done. Your phrasing and rhymes are good. It is well written.

What a delightful celebration of nature! Your word choics are beautiful including "the glorious moon is first to arrive" and "the soft summer gown now shimmers in light." You capture tsummer and the transition into autumn so well. I can almost feel the warm breeze and hear the rustling leaves. So well done.

A beautiful poem of "Days of Summer". I loved the personification of summer, leaves, shadows, flowers, but the moon is my favorite.
I enjoyed reading your delightful piece.
Blessings

I can tell that you have put a lot of thought, work and time into this smooth rhyming poetic tribute to Summer. I love the summer but will enjoy the coolness of fall as well.
