SUMMER IN OCTOBER

Summer in October

I asked for one more day of Summer,

You gave me several.

Maybe I should’ve asked for

Something more substantial.

Because what can endless summers do?

Can they give me riches or love?

Or the perfect face and beauty?

All they do is-

warm my heart and make me write poetry.

DOWN WITH ENDLESS SUMMERS !!
