Notes About The Poem

Mid Summer Blues

we thought we were ready
till the unexpected fell upon us

such high expectations
for fun and adventure
plans for get-aways
excursions and discoveries

the days and weeks go by
another summer slips away

sara Etgen-Baker July 25, 2025 at 5:02 PM just this morning I realized how summer is slipping away. EEGADS. So much we wanted to do...life gave us some curve balls that now prohibit us from doing some of what we planned. I can relate Line Gauthier July 25, 2025 at 7:16 PM Yes indeed ~ we don't want to postpone ~

Paula Goldsmith July 25, 2025 at 11:33 AM I enjoyed reading your write. Pretty Picture... Guess summer is half over. I cannot wait for fall. I am tired of the 110 to 120 heat. Have a wonderful day writing away............... Line Gauthier July 25, 2025 at 2:17 PM I have to admit that autumn is my favourite season ~ thanks, Paula
