John Marsden Writing Topic #336
Write a poem to the end of a season**
Summer
Farewell summer…
and your bright sunny days
Farewell summer…
and your gruelling heatwaves.
Farewell summer…
and your ice cool treats
Farewell summer…
and the inevitable ice-cream brain freeze.
Farewell summer…
and the enticing beaches
Farewell summer…
it’s time to put away my one-piece.
Farewell summer…
I’ll see you again at the end of the year
Farewell summer…
I can’t wait for you to come back here.
