Sestina

The best time of the year is always summer
After the storm, you can find a rainbow
The oh so soft grass of green
And the full bloom flowers of red
All the wonderful grass and flowers fueled by the sun
Only to be cooled by the breeze

The blowing wind, sometimes only a breeze
Fills the hot days of summer
Ever so, hot from the sun
Off in the distance the faded rainbow
The sunset with the deep color of red
The trees with deep leaves of green

 Deep shades of green
The wind calming to a breeze
The flag oh so red
The wonderful time of summer
The storm calmed with the rainbow
The bright yellow sun

Behind the clouds the sun
Peeking out to make the flowers grow green
The so bright rainbow
Often with no breeze
The hot hot summer
Making little children bright red
 
The children all red
Having fun in the sun
Enjoying the summer
Laying in the green
Enjoying the breeze
Wanting the gold at the end of the rainbow

The many colors of the rainbow
The brightest is red
Hidden from the breeze
Made brighter from the sun
Barely can see the green
The fun times of summer
 
The bright rainbow only seen in the sun
All the colors both red and green
Always a breeze in the hot days of summer

  2. I like the use of colors. Readers note how the colors and their associations change from the beginning of summer to it's end. For instance, by August, we "barely can see the green."
