SUMMER SYMPHONY, by LAUREL JANE SPITLER First Line: Clouds gather, lightning flashes Last Line: Creating summer symphonies. Subject(s): Summer | ||||||||
Clouds gather, lightning flashes, Thunder rolls in the west; A raindrop on the window splashes -- Lo! the world with rain is blessed. Meadows soon begin to change From brown to a verdant hue; Animals gambol on the range, As life begins anew. Flowers bloom again once more In country lanes and nooks; Crickets chirp on the kitchen floor, And frogs croak by the brooks. And throughout all this clamor Comes the humming of the bees; And the woodpecker with his hammer, Creating summer symphonies. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ADVANCE OF SUMMER by MARY KINZIE THE SUMMER IMAGE by LEONIE ADAMS CANOEBIAL BLISS by JOSEPH ASHBY-STERRY THE END OF SUMMER by HENRY MEADE BLAND THE FARMER'S BOY: SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD SONNET: 14.
