Summer Fun


I dreamt last night of innocent days gone by under the watchful eye of a summer sun. My imagination was all I relied to chase away boredom, to frolic in fun. Hide-and-seek whispers and little girls' laughter, no responsibilities to look after, a visit to grandma's, a ride on a plane, my bubblng excitement, I could not contain. I dreamt last night of summer days at the lake under the watchful eye of my proud grandma. In cool, cedar waters, new friends I would make, our bronzed limbs splashing until August's withdraw, and high like a hill waiting to climb, a slide towering o'er heads and smooth waters. To glide down in wet bathing suits was a speedy thrill. Like our summer secrets, happily we'd spill. written September 6, 2012

    This is a very awesome rendition of a perfect summer month! August has left us and now it's time for Fall to begin...and I'm for one very excited for it to come! If you hadn't noticed already Autumn is my favorite time of the year, I love everything about it! Halloween is probably my most exciting event of the year! Anyway, your poem is wonderful for the summer, I felt it seeping into me as I read this write! A very grandiose piece this write is my friend! Great Work!!
