Summer's War

A poem about summer =)

Sapping out energy into the sky,
Shining light from way up high,
At it's strongest it brightly glows,
deadly blinding whom it shows.

Starting another fresh war,
useless, weapons from before.
We take out new armory,
 and seek different sanctuary.

Heavy armor is no good anymore,
only increase the blows and the gore.
Lighter armor is now more useful,
Sometimes none is better, to be truthful.

The blue monster now weakened,
Soldiers attack at the weekend.
Launching artillery from above,

striking down with their beloved.

The war of summer has finally started,
the only war we do not want departed.

Happy summer everyone!!!

ha ha so true "The war of summer has finally started,
the only war we do not want departed." I adore summer and you did it justice!!

"Sometimes none is better, to be truthful." >> this line made me laugh! And it made me think of nude females sunbathing on the beach, trying to achieve 'coverage in all areas'... great image for me... (I know that's not exactly what you meant, but...)
This is a really amusing and effective metaphor for the various minor conflicts that seem to go on during summer: the blinding sun, the heat, the sunburn, the lotion, the clothes and the general changes in weather. (that is, I interpreted the penultimate verse as referring to a storm - which would be typical of the weekend, with everyone off work!) It all sounds terribly British to me - this is exactly how it effects people here... And, of course, for all their complaints and battles with the elements, they do not want that "war" to end...
Good poem, and an interesting use of imagery.
