Summer Break
Cool
breezy
summer break,
sojourns we loved
to the foothills of
splendid Himalayas
that breathe a leisurely mood.
just sit and gaze at the snowcaps
of majestic mountains, far away
from the din of cities and scalding heat.
Memorable moments of renewal
of love inadvertently buried
in the race of reaching the crest.
time to forget all the grudges
soak in blissful nature,
feel the summer vibes,
hear the whisper
of pine trees
blend with
clouds.

Thanks to Colleen for the inspiration to write syllabic poetry. I chose to write a double Etheree.
Kigo words: summer mood
Inspired from the prompt: “There’s something about the summer that makes me moody…”
An Etheree is a type of poem which consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables. Etheree can also be reversed and written 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. So it is called a double Etheree.
