Summer


from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

It arrives, exploding

Cherry blossom,

against a

morning azured backdrop.

Summarily slamming

winter's door,

having uncoiled

from its handmaiden;

pride before the fall?

Thanks Chimpanzee. It was just intended with the use of a puns and metaphors to indicate the welcome of summer - amongst the other seasons; Summarily/Summer, uncoiling/spring and fall...well, fall/autumn.
I'll just be happy, if we actually get a summer, this year ;)

Chris ;)

I agree with Chimpanzee! I love the zen feel too ;) Those last few lines are brilliant - beautiful imagery!
