Simple Days of Summer

Simple days of Summer
convey simple moments:
a humming hummingbird,
dancing dandelion,
a hazy morning, blurred.

Simple days of Summer
whisper of simple times:
sharing a root beer float,
going to the movies,
fishing from a friend's boat.

Simple days of Summer
conjure simple pleasures:
antiquated book stores,
picnics on a bronze beach,
bare feet on polished floors.

Simple days of Summer
tickle simple senses:
sweet homemade lemonade, 
slushy, syruped snow cones,
denim shorts with hems frayed.

Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 1/31/2024 1:06:00 PM Hi my friend Paula. Maybe I should write about Spring as well. Warmer days with cool breeze grazing the bare skin of sun-deprived shoulders. Thanks for the idea! :)
