Memorable Sounds of Summer
The early morning sun peeks in through my window
And I have to awake once sun light kisses my face
The first sound I hear, and my favorite of all
Are the chirping hummingbirds, resting
Upon the trellis where honeysuckle winds
They seem to beckon me, come greet the day!”
Hurried bare feet patter on cool hard wood floor
As I head towards the kitchen making sure the clock is right
It's too late for breakfast, but the coffee machine softly hums
Hmmm! Delicious! Coffee always smells so divine!
It’ not quite noon, but kids are already at the pool
Splashing loudly, “Marco Polo!” They serenade
There goes the ice cream truck, slowly rolling down some street
Playing nursery rhyme jingles making stops along the way
Children screeching, with Moms’ admonishing
Ice cream, for the moment, is all they can see
Down to the beach, later, I am sure to go
Where lively ocean waves, Smack the crowded shore
As sea gulls screech, and fight over their meal
And laughter erupts from kids, big and small
In the cool of the evening with the sun ending its watch
The smooth sounds of a lone saxophone, rides the breeze
jazzy and so cool! Wafting in the air for all to enjoy
All these are, my most memorable sounds of a hot summer’s day!
