 Welcome to the first 24 Seasons Syllabic Poetry challenge for 2024!

 

 

 summer butterflies

not happening this season

too many cyclones


expensive melons

fruit and veg prices are high

folks doing it tough


thunder storms raging

angels moving furniture

said my grandmother


a summer evening

soft cheese smoked salmon and wine

special occasion


mint basil and thyme

plants grown on my window sill

a summer delight


head in the clouds

better than feet on the ground

reality overrated

  1. Oh, this collection of images is wonderful, Rall! I love the "angels moving furniture" line. I had never heard that, but it totally describes rolling thunder. Great poems! :-)
