My Summer Love

The sound of airplanes in the air And sprinklers ticking everywhere The sun upon my freckled face Watermelon juice on my chin Clouds in shapes of animals Neighbors tending fresh cut lawns Snails to search for in the shade Hours to dive and swim Playing hopscotch in the street Tromping around in my bare feet Dragonflies all over the place My hair blown in the wind The Winter is my acquaintance The Autumn, my splash of color The Spring, she gives me flowers But the Summer is my friend.
