I'd Like a Little Summer

I'd like a little summer 
Oh, but not too much, 
A little kiss of sunshine 
No more than a touch

With cool rain to follow
Night breezes that blow,
With thunder in the distance 
And lightning bugs that glow

Yes, I'd like a little summer 
A little warmth in my day,
Maybe I'll learn to love her
And welcome her to stay.

My favorite line in your poem is "And lighting bugs that glow" Those little guys are a true sign of summer aren't they? What lovely verses.

sounds like a place I'm from. A great page in a poetry book.

My favorite season of the year, Kelly, those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer. I hope you’re enjoying it as much as I am. John

Thank you for reading my poem and your kind comments on it, John ... I do try to enjoy the summer, but it isn't my most favorite season. I'm still learning to love her though :)
