Summer Breeze

As I endure another winter
And my bones seem to freeze,
My mind drifts away
To a warm summer breeze.

I think of birds singing
Instead of begging for seeds,
And watching them nesting
Amidst the warm summer breeze.

Children running and playing,
Ignoring the humming of bees;
Fishermen baiting and casting,
In the warm summer breeze.

The livestock are shivering
And huddled in trees,
Perhaps they to long
For a warm summer breeze.

Golf balls are flying,
Dogs are scratching their fleas;
Hummingbirds are feeding,
In the warm summer breeze.

I have given it much thought,
And tonight when I hit my knees,
You can bet I will be praying
For a warm summer breeze.

Tick, I'm already wanting that summer breeze! I say lets skip winter, and get into spring! You did a nice job on this one both in image, and the written words. tigz =^..^=

Beautiful scene, TicK. I think I see Sherree up in that hot air balloon!

Summer breeze makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind

Wow what a beautiful poem Tick just like this lovely summer breeze photo with the balloon catching the breeze and the balloon looks great set against the tree and I love the effect you applied to the sky as well the colours are stunning.

This is a lovely summer shot and when I see this I too long for the summer when it is still daylight at 9:30 PM. A well written "Ode to a Season". All that you said applies to me too including the "knees" Tick.

Is there anything you can't do, Tick? You are a photographer AND a poet., not to mention a writer and journalist. You do it all well, too. This is excellent, and something I have always wanted to get a shot of. We have balloon festivals around here, but I have never made it to one yet. The composition with the tree and limbs is fantastic. Beautiful sky too. outstanding all the way around.

An excellent image Tick - I love the composition particularily the placement of the tree vis a vis the hot air balloon!!! Your poem is just wonderful - I'm looking foward to the summer breeze down at the Jersey shore - I can hear the sound of the seagulls - a slice of pizza - a softserve cone - shopping!!! The summer breeze can't arrive soon enough. By the way, Happy New Year

Talk about blowing a lot of hot air...I'm surprised you could say anything after inflating that balloon.

Good composition of the scene and a great poem.
