Villanelle for Summer
It is Summertime, and the death of poets
When early daybreak comes beckoning
The breeze is easy, the sun swings low
Where near nude men and women go
Swimming, in the shimmering light
Of Summertime, and the death of poets
Couples laughing in the setting glow
Clink cans of beer together cheers-ing
When the breeze is easy, the sun swings low
There’s no more talk of Michelangelo
There’s no more ice that will suffice
In Summertime, the death of poets
Who only thrive when the air is cold
And whither away in warmer seasons
The breeze is easy, the sun swings low
At last a day that can provide
At last a reason to go outside
The breeze is easy, the sun swings low
It is Summertime, the death of poets.
