I'M Hanging On To Summertime

I'm hanging on to summertime
like monkeys hanging on a vine,
like kitty cats on old screen doors,
like winter snows in Labrador,
like spiders on a silken thread,
like bellies that were overfed,
like kites trapped in an apple tree,
but Fall will come eventually.

That was really cute. I love the movement of your lines and the fun that comes with the poetic imagination.
