Summer Days for Kids

Wanted to share the poem I wrote for a contest about children's excitement towards summer break and how boredom sets in towards the end. Describes a child's favorite activity on a hot summer day.”

Yeah! school’s out

Sing and shout

No tests, no grades

Off to Everglades

Alligators and dragonflies

Tag along with butterflies

Pesky mosquitoes

Bite your toes

Swim and play Frisbee

By the deep blue sea

Vacation comes to an end

Home playing with friends

Summer days long and lazy

Sun so hot; sky so hazy

Riding bikes, sweltering lanes

Sun-soaked brains

Imagination drenched

Motivation benched

Sun's still burning

Rather be in school learning

 

Gloria Buono (c) 2005

S u p e r !!! Love how you worked so many {perfect} details in without going on and on. Though summers such as that should go on and on. . .and ON. Right? L o v e. i t. 'Pea' <3

Gloria,

You capture both sides of the coin vividly and perfectly! O, I just couldn't WAIT for school to be let out (ahem, never mind asking how long ago I went LOL), a couple of weeks later, I was booooooored! I mean, you can only play for so long. :) Well done, good luck in the contest!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

Thanks for the memories! :)
