Hot Summer Day

The good ol' days of summer fun On city streets beneath the hot sun The streets become rivers where kids play In years gone by on a hot summer day The kids are all smiles in their river of fun On city streets beneath the hot sun Where memories are framed in black and white And the cool water brings them delight No lifeguard to save them from the depth of their fun No cars in sight where their river runs They'll swim in these memories in summers to come Remembering the good ol' days, of summer fun Other kids look on from the "river banks" Where tall buildings reach for the sun For this river of joy they'll give thanks In the good ol' days of summer fun -- 8/24/17 Contest: Hot Summer Day Contest Judged on: 9-17-17 -------------------------------------------------------------------- For Broken Wings Contest: A Poem, I Wrote and sent Drifting
