Early summer afternoon

Lovely kites and hot air balloons

Iced lemonade and rose red watermelons

on top of the meadow beneath the fluffy clouds

 

How lovely

the summer clouds are!

Cheering children staring far

Just like marshmallows, sweet and soft

 

Forest, Ocean, Sandy beach

Drinking Coca-Cola and eating peach

Gentle clouds rambling, comfortable and cozy

The soft breeze rustling through the tips of the trees

 

Birds

                         Chirming

With a silvery voice

 

Cicadas

         Chirping

Until the subsequent sun-rise

 

When time tiptoed to the end of the day

Sunset glow shining over the hay

 

Clouds become long and narrow

with bright colors and red like marrow

 

The God probably overturned his delicate palette

which dyed the sky like an ocean of rose and violet

 

I start wondering

about this summer fantasy—

How beautiful is the world

And how thought-provoking is nature

 

But still, still

So many people

Immerse themselves in the electronic world

Amusing themselves to the end of death swirls

 

The Brave New World is approaching

What should we do during the following early summer afternoon?


The author's comments:

My inspiration for the poem is the summer scene outside the windows. It is such a beautiful and cozy season. As I stare long, however, I realized that few people actually pay attention to the beauty of nature. As internet and technology rapidly develop, more people immerse themselves in the virtual world and ignore the serendipity of life. It is as if our world is approaching the on in "Brave New World". Therefore, I connected summer with the message to encourage people to step out of their home, leave the internet, and experience the beauty of nature and beautiful summer.
