Hot Summer Day

No one else celebrates a summer noon,
like children. They embrace it like a bouquet
of roses in their souls,
as they jump into pools of water,
splashing all over around them.
Their innocent bliss soon infects men and women,
their thoughts going down memory lane...

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/28/2017 6:08:00 PM Teddy this is very nice, but if it's for the contest, you will need to reread the rules I think. By the way, I just love that second line you wrote.
