Poets Corner


Summers Dance
by Alexandria J. Eliason

What a sweet smell lingers in the air
As the soft patter of rain grazes across the hot summer pavement
Dark clouds roll in, the summer blues float out
A flash of light dances across the sky
Thunder claps at her beautiful grace
The Sun dips low behind the curtain
Giving her a chance to shine
It's been the sun all summer
The beautiful Lightening stretches her legs
Warming up for her ballet
Spectators come from all around
Kicking their shoes off to run through the puddles
Laughing out loud they all collapse to the ground
Breathe a sigh of relief
The wind flows around
One last pirouette, the dance ends
The Sun returns
The spectators shuffle back to their lives
Memories of the dance linger in their minds
They wait in anticipation for the next time
