oh! fine summer day to be
lakeside in the shade of the tree
listen to the loons yodel, cicadas hum
watch the flight of the dragonflies and butterflies
savor the sun-baked berries
oh! first one, then another
yellow leaves caught in the flutter
moving on, leaving summer

Love those last two lines. :-)
Although I used to hate those first yellow leaves...for it meant time to leave the island and head back to school...
yes... the end of idyllic freedom...
