The boldness of the season
And brightness of the skies
The colours around the houses
And sounds from the streets
The cleanliness of the environment
And greenery of the fields
The singing of butterflies and bees
That suck and dance on roses
Gardens are glowing with flowers
And pavements smell so sweet
Of ranunculus and herbaceous plants
And hanging baskets of plug plants
While birds chirp by windows.
Parks and beaches are congested
And streets are full of cars
All hotels are booked
As the city is full of tourists
The malls and shops are busiest
And fashion is on the trend
No one is lazy in summer
And none is left behind
Everybody talks of summer
With love and nostalgia
From the cuteness of attires
To the boldness of colours
The elegance of shapes
And attractive silhouettes
Age is just a number
As onlookers profess
The freshness of the mornings
Is lighted by the drizzling
And coldness of the summer rains
That melt and lead the day
Yes, everyone dreams of summer.
