I love summer, and I love poems. So today, I’m sharing 3 of
my favorite poems:
“Warm summer sun, shine kindly here;
Warm southern wind, blow softly here;
Green sod above, lie light, lie light;
Good night, dear heart, good night, good night.”
(Mark Twain)
“Bend low again, night of summer stars.
So near you are, sky of summer stars.
So near, a long-arm man can pick off stars,
Pick off what he wants in the sky bowl,
So near you are, summer stars,
So near, strumming, strumming,
So lazy and hum-strumming.”
(Carl Sandburg)
“In winter I get
up at night
And dress by
yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite
the other way,
I have to go to
bed by day.
I have to go to
bed and see
The birds still
hopping on the tree,
Or hear the
grown-up people's feet
Still going past
me in the street.
And does it not
seem hard to you,
When all the sky
is clear and blue,
And I should like
so much to play,
To have to go to
bed by day?”
(Robert Louis Stevenson)

Goodbye has never been this
hard…especially when love is saying hello…
Screenwriter Angelina Conte has been butting heads via email with the studio’s
unbelievably nitpicky scientific advisor, volcanologist Dr. Caleb Sloane.
Between his scheduled lectures aboard a Hawaiian cruise, she intends to prove
that she’s no Tinseltown hack.
Caleb had planned on using this Christmastime cruise to adjust his workaholic
attitude. A tough assignment when he tangles with the movie studio’s
surprisingly stubborn scriptwriter.
Startlingly, their chemistry is off the charts. But when the studio gives
Angelina an ultimatum, she remembers why she put love on the back burner—and
why, for her, happily-ever-after was never in the cards.
