"Soothing Sunbeams"
I Love the story you have told that takes us in a natural progression through the seasons of the year. I Like the touch of the changing colors as the stages of life change:
As the colors can show brightly
As the patterns are revealed
No malicious things will linger
No hidden objects are concealed
I like the logical flow that brings us to the juxtaposed end of the seeker:
Is it just a winsome wonder?
Is it just a hopeful thought?
That we walk freely in the sunlight
That we enjoy the warmth we sought
May God continue to inspire and Bless you, have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Comment from christineroundy
I felt this poem flowed evenly and I liked the descriptions. It reminds me of childhood. It was very soothing. There was nothing disturbing the flow of words. I thought they all worked well together. It was a thoughtful piece.

Comment from gypsymoth
If i were to say what I would miss most if suddenly I were
to go blind, it would be sunshine. Besides, it warms us when no one else will.
Hugs and Sunshine

Comment from Joan E.
That's why I live in Southern California! I enjoyed your short, rhymed quatrains and your appeal for more sunshine. Here's to "peace within the glimmer"! Warm hugs- Joan

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
Of course it is. People are less moody, there isn't the SAD syndrome, so much nicer. I really enjoyed this poem, Tom, and I noticed how each first letter in each 2 lines was the same all the way down the poem. I don't know if that was planned but it certainly gave the poem more power and gave it a certain, oomph. I found it a real pleasure to read, and your photo is a delight to look at. xsx Sandra

Thank you Sandra. Actually the first two words in each paired line is the same. Yes, that was intentional.

Hi there, Tom
Your poem seems as if there is a personal message to your wife.
Brighter days, perhaps.
I love your descriptions and the atmosphere you evoke here.
kind regards

Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
It surely is true that every day is brighter when it passes with sunshine and smiles in it.
A lovely image and well expressed quatrains in ABCB rhyme.
it seems that you enjoy this phenomena often as you capture these great photos.

Comment from RGstar
Very nice, my friend. I thought this flowed well. Not a difficult poem, but very expressive and has a well put together lyrical flow with a strong thesis relayed.
For the sheer imagery presented, I give this a six.
Bravo.
Best wishes,
RG

Comment from rod007
The wish of summer gone and the frustration over winter's conquest of summer's serenade is highlighted in this poem. Well, Tom, only six months till the curtain of summer's shadow, spring, will descend upon us. Well done.
