Pretty blonde hair and fair eyes, she is mine
Like a summer day, she glows like sunshine
I'm lost in the blue of her eyes, so fine
And her sun-kissed skin is just so divine
Ocean in her eyes, still by the shoreline
Unmoving in her beauty, walk the line
Just as summer fades, seasons realign
But she just goes untouched by the deadline
Eternal summer, got me on cloud nine
It's the very fabric of her design
Watch as the sun sets over the skyline
Perfect summer day got a new design 
And her eyes are the true dividing line
Between eternal summer or snow line.

 

(Don't know if summer related metaphors count but I gave it a shot.)

Heads up, if you wanted to participate in this contest, there’s one week left for submissions

It took a while, but I finally finished mine. Hopefully it's closely related to "summer" enough.

Spoiler

The many faces that one can treasure.
This summer, I saw you reveal them all.
A face of anger, a face of pleasure,
A face of loneliness you wore ‘till fall.

It was your sunshine that filled my pieces.
A sunshine that I can’t get enough of.
It was you that had flattened my creases.
Creases I have come to cherish and love.

With you, I find things I could never see.
Things I had once feared, but now wish for more.
Summer shares its gentle embrace with me,
Blankets of sun that I happily wore.

Last summer, I found the skies to be blue,
But it was this summer that I found you.

Thanks for participating in the Summer Sonnet Contest!

It was a pleasure to read the works that you’ve created for it. I really enjoyed both of your Sonnets @ItsSammy and @Kinbaryu - I appreciate you taking the time to make such a specific work. I apologize for the lack of other competition- perhaps Sonnets are a bit too much at the moment.

Anywho, I’ve awarded Kinbaryu 2,000 points and a first place  for a very touching poem befitting of summer.

ItsSammy 1,000 points and second place for your creativity in penning those lines.

Thank you both again. I hope to see you next time!
