The End of Summer
The end of Summer is near 
 Just two weeks more. 
 I shed a silent tear 
 Realizing my summer is almost gone. 
 
 The warm August days 
 Slip by so fast. 
 Oh, how I wish 
 I could make them last. 
 
 And as each day 
 Ends in a golden sunset  
 I wish it would stay 
 Summer, just a bit longer
 
 So I wave a silent goodbye
 To my sweet summer so dear 
 And I watch and cry 
 As the sun goes down 
 On the last day
 
 Of Summer…

If I recall correctly, you're the one who wrote the other lovely poem on summer. Just like in "Summer," I love your sublte, well placed rhymes, natural and human. I felt as if someone were sitting with me, and we were both wistfully regretting summers end. Even in December, this poem feels ecellent and relevant! Write on, DawnieRae!
