Demise

Demise of hot days

Summer sunshine

Butterflies and bees

T shirts and ice cold coke.

** Kirra and friend **

 

Ice cream and strawberries

Salads, including cucumber

All now replaced by

Hot drinks and stew.

 

Sandals stored away

I now wear boots

Fleece coat and warm mittens

All essential as the cold wind

I often feel, shall,  bring snow.

 

Short days

And long nights

Walks are less frequent

Replaced instead

Hot radiators and tv.

Gone are the days

Of summer sun

Short and brief

It may have been

If only its demise

Had been delayed

How wonderful

It would have been.
