Summer Nights

A Poem

By Mother CombsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

S - Steamy, sweat-filled evenings

U - Under a starlit sky

M - Making slow, sweet love

M - Mixed drinks sipped in the hammock

E - Eating homemade peach ice cream

R- Roasting meat on the grill

*

N - Nights filled with sweet dreams of love

I - Iced tea drank on the porch

G - Ghost stories around a campfire

H - Hearing the whippoorwill

T - The crickets chirping through the night

S - Swimming by the moon’s light

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.

    Wonderful, your poetic portrayal of summer nights is enchanting and evocative, the use of acrostic form to spell out "Summer Nights" adds a delightful touch to the imagery you create, the final line, "Swimming by the moon's light," paints a serene and magical picture, your poem is a delightful celebration of the joys and sensory delights that summer nights bring, we‘re deeply moved by the poem, loved it, and hope to read more of your work, thank you very much again for sharing this spiritual journey that touched our hearts, subscribed.
