ENGLISH GARDENS ~ ALWAYS PURRRFECT IN SUMMER !
SUMMER ~ The Season we all bless
Tis heralded by days of balmy SPRING
If she were shorter ~ could we love her less ?
Desire of all ~ that you Sweet Summer bring !
The roses bloom in Summer's balmy heat
Wild flowers in the grass ~ profuse in bloom
When AUTUMN comes ~ the Summer is complete
And every year the Autumn comes too soon !
Summer is a Season for all ages
The Sea & Sand beloved of the YOUNG
The Cricket Field for wise straw-hatted Sages
And Ladies pic-nics ~ salads ham & tongue !
In FLORIDA it's Summer ~ ALL THE YEAR
But that would NOT be BRITISH ~ NO MY DEAR !
Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX
SUMMER we all love it ! Global Warming is turning
the UK into SAN TROPEZ ~ Topless at SOUTHEND
so why not stay at HOME for the Holidays ~ We may
have to after BREXIT ~ but I prefer HADDOCK & CHIPS
to ESCARGOTS et JAMBES de GRENOUILLES ! Enjoy the
Photos of SOUTHEND which is a popular ESSEX (UK)
Holiday Resort and is only about 1 hours drive from
where I live. It's close to LONDON so please visit ~ THANKS !
You may ask why is this very ENGLISH Sonnet is dedicated
to a SASSY GAL like Christina S ? Well she lives in one of the
most Beautiful States in the USA ~ BUT ~ The Winters are
too long and the Spring too short ~ But Summer in XXXXX
is PARADISE and Chris can't wait to get back into modelling
mode in her Teeny Weeny ~ Red &Yellow Polka dot BIKINI !
Love from England ~ Tus Hermanos ANGELA & BRIAN XOXOX

Very joyful poem Brian..... sounds a lot like the New England summers that go too soon but we wouldn't want to stay the same all year round........
WELL YOU KNOW ME LORNA ~ Always the Optimist and always trying to spread a little JOY & PEACE ! YES New England ~ in its short Summer ~ is very like Old England # BUT in it's long FALL it is like nowhere else on EARTH ! Yours as always ~ Hugs ANGELA & BRIAN @@@@@@@
Dontknocjk the straw hats of cricket watchers that might be me one day, super summer sonnet Brian.
I always see you in a STRAW BOATER in the Summer Andy ~ The quintessential ENGLISH GENTLEMAN & POET ~ like John Betjeman ~ Yours ~ with a reversed baseball hat ~ saying VOTE HILLARY ~ BRIAN
Just like that as I look out of the window - sun shining, garden full of bloom, striped lines where I have cut the lawn and a gin and tonic awaits - perfect Brian.
Ahhhhhhhh MIKE ~ just like ANDY you too are a quintessential Englishman ~ Well stocked garden ~ Neatly cropped lawn and G & T before lunch ! Now we are getting more Sun (Global Warming but don't tell Tronald Dump) England is an even bester place to live on Earth ! Pleased you liked it ~ Yours BRIAN
A bit swoony in places this, Brian! lol.
Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
Una bella poesia!
When I saw the title of this great poem, it reminded me of the song, SUMMER NIGHTS, from âGreaseâ with the lyricsââSummer lovinâ had me a blastâ...
The tune wonât leave my head any time soon!
Love the poem, pic and clip of Nat King Cole...even if John Travolta and Olivia Newton John are humming in my head!đ¶
Abbracci e Baci per te ed Angela...
~Laura~

THANKS CHRIS ~ When I decided to do a SUMMER SONNET ~ I thought of YOU ! You do live in an exceptional State ~ which I have visited and Enjoyed in Summer / Autumn ~ but for reasons I won't go into Your Winters are too long & Spring too short ~ but when Summer comes ~ your STATE was made for it ! I visualised you enjoying the Sun (70+F) in your BIKINI and thinking "What A Lovely State to be in !" Pleased you loved the Poem ~ Picture & Nat king Cole and the wonderful videos in the CD ! Glad I made you cry for all the right reasons ~ Angela loved your response and sends her LOVE ! Big Hugs ~ Tus Hermanos ANGELA y BRIAN @@@@@@@ A & I are just enjoying Lemon Chicken and Saffron Rice ~ we are very relaxed about New Zealand and our future together in 2020 ! A & B @@@@@@@
