End of Haviland

end of Haviland stilled kickstands & spokes of Schwinn our teen shapely thighs after school books are returned and mind wanders down the road chill in Summer heat orange & vanilla twist creamsicle in cone the yield of sweet and tincture melting on curbside tongues

Never heard of Haviland but the poem conveys a good idea of what it is. I sure miss my school days and looking forward to summer play. It always went so dang fast!!

It takes me back to read this poem. The joy of being a child outdoors at play is a lifestyle that is becoming lost. Too bad we can't live it over again.
