Summer Has Walked In

Summer has walked in with
a golden grin and a crown, which
she stole from the sun, and
began dancing over my place, and

painting the sky in crimson hues
she now boogies through the trees
with a breath of fire, for she has
blown a fuse, and our gentle breeze

has escaped away, while her laughter
finds a way to better scorch with a hum,
then, playing her drum, she rolls to sea
to warm it up for you and me, still

like all guests, she'll take flight
chased away by autumn's light
