Summer...

For kids summer is a holiday...

Poem Artwork

Lawnmower blades cutting,

Hoses squirting,

Neighbors talking,

Rakes on the ground scraping…

 

Children playing,

Ocean waves breaking,

Old men complaining…

 

Temperatures rising,

Allergy sufferers sneezing,

Lifeguard whistles blowing,

Dogs barking…

 

Tree’s rustling,

Flea’s marching,

Knee’s knobby rattling…

 

Mouths slurping,

Fans spinning,

Air conditioner noise rampant,

Summer sounds do enchant…

PS: That photo looks like our beach "hot spots" during the winter, but they might be a little less crowded this time of the year.
