Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

In July

In July mosquitoes fly 
And hummingbirds are humming.
Bees will buzz and all because
They don’t know fall is coming.

Weeks remain so none complain
That summer zips by quickly.
School is out and kids, no doubt,
Don’t mind when skin is prickly.

Folks will schmooze at barbecues
And drink like no tomorrow. 
Through their sweat, they all forget
These days are just to borrow.

L Milton Hankins July 12, 2022 at 1:51 PM I like this poem a lot, Ilene. In fact, I'm going to mark it a FAVE. I love the summertime and, with the exception of the mosquitoes, your first stanza really appealed to me and drew me in. Nice.
