Summer

Summer The best season No other can compare To sunny days and starry nights That summertime brings forth It’s so awesome Summer Summer How does it sound? Like drinks poured over ice The jingle of an ice cream truck Bees buzzing, waves breaking Children splashing Fireworks Summer How does it look? Like cloudless skies of blue The children in line for ice cream Colorful garden fruits Family trips The beach Summer How does it feel? Like moist heat on my skin The sand squishing between my toes Morning dew on the grass Cool rain puddles Perfect Summer How does it taste? Like burgers on the grill Chocolate s’mores and marshmallows Tropical Popsicles Cotton candy Ice Cream Summer How does it smell? Like backyard barbecues Coconut lotion on my skin Saltwater in the air Boardwalk goodies Fresh Fruit Summer What does it mean? Family vacations Great photo opportunities Beautiful Memories Fun water play Summer 06/02/2021 Written for Heptastich Poetry Contest Sponsored by William Kekaula
