Poem submission by Kirti Sharma

Hello everyone! This is my submission for the anthology. 

This poem is unpublished.

    Summer's Color 

This bright color that sun shares with us,

​is the color of life.

​When it falls over the plants and the buildings,

​the reflection is a relief to the eyes. 

​Although the scorching heat tags along with it, 

​it walks over our head

​making us tan and sweat,

​and dehydrate us so well,

​but the color of love belongs to this season.

​How passionately that color is followed by the others, 

​all the flowers bloom just to see one another.

I like that floral designs meant to wear in these summers.

"​Why does not it rains?" we cry on the baked days,

the only hope that bring in some relief 

of a fresh cold wind.

​ ​Those air conditioners and hill stations,

​are all the escapes we try for months,

​how much we love winters, 

​we settle so quickly in cold weather.

​A little warmth that we mention so loud, 

 have a small walk under this sun, 

​and come running under the shade of a canopy,

​looking at the leaves, some drying,

​some are dark green.

 This color brings in faith in these months, 

the sky welcomes another cycle of the earth.
