Are you also sad it's past?

Question: Are you also sad it's past!?

Pattern of Past Summer

Simplicity indeed is a pattern!.
Woven by blue water, slipping
Over black, polished river rocks!.
Descending into a turquoise pool!.
Splash of a Cardinal!.
A fleck of Oriole wings!.
All tempered to vibrancy!.
Muted now!.

What jumped at me was Cardinal and Oriole capitalized, like baseball teams!.

Baseball, that summer sport
"All tempered to vibrancy!.
Muted now"

Muted for a Cardinal fan at least!.!.!.
---------------------
You have '68!. We have '06!. And '34!.
---------------------

The '68 Tigers
Denny, the star
In the World Series
Lolich by far

Cardinals are king
Building 3-1 lead
Gibson homers
Thrice MVP!?

Detroit is pissed
So are the fans
Cash and Kaline
Northrup Slams!

Battling back
Take '68 Crown
Erasing the memory
Of '34 Frown!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
