Let’s hope
By Fiona Cummings  
Summer is lost 
Waking up to frost
The greenery is moss
Brown is the grass 
From winds of winters
  Stormy blizzards
Where are our summers 
Are they hiding?
Through clouds their fighting 
On raindrops their riding 
The sun is sleeping 
Warmth is creeping 
Our skies are weeping 
Nights are shivering 
 The moon
illuminates    waters glistering 
 Summer canvases are
blistering
We wrap a shawl around our shoulders 
Strike a match to the ambers 
This is madness, it’s not December 
Fills me with sadness, heat? I can’t remember 
A walk along a sandy beach 
Summer sounds are hard to reach
Anti-sunbathing no longer we preach 
We need the sun for our sanity 
Forever winters are such a tragedy 
But we have no choice 
Apart from travel to warmer climates 
Where the air is moist 
And the temperatures are at their highest 
What do we do?
Dream of skies so blue
A beautiful meadow
With rays so yellow 
And feelings so mellow 
We can all dream 
Of that summer days stream
Where babbling brooks 
Flow gently through the narrow crooks 
 Of broken rocks 
And grey brown rocks 
Where farmers fields 
Have herds of flocks 
Where rain is just showers 
And fragrant flowers 
Frame bumblebees 
Where we take shade, from leafy trees 
  But this is a dream for now 
As summer is lost
Why and how?
We just don’t know
We haven’t seen sun
And its time again for snow 
Lets hope the season will show?
