Pale legs from winters past beg for sunlight.
Pretty dresses twirl like waltzing flowers.
Petals litter the freshly thawed midnight.
Soon to be, baby birds chirping for hours.

Sand warms our bare feet after winters end.
Pale pastel colors from left to right,
They dance around and on the canvas blend.
The colossal star exudes her rays bright.

The echo of the flowing waters soothe.
We lay on her warm back soaking the rays.
Ocean rocks are beaten very smooth.
We cannot hide from her fiery blaze.

Now our pale skin can finally tan.
Through the amusement parks she loves they ran.

The author's comments:
This is a sonnet about the lovely weather we have been having recently and just the longing for summer and warmth, as well as the feeling of the warm weather and the actions most people take on during the summer.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."

Favorite Quote:
"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
