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.

Summer is so enticing except for the pesky mosquitoes. I regret Malta is always dirty.

Mosquitoes are a nuisance, I agree Victor. It is good to see you here today. :)

Hi my sweet friend. I am envious - you in summer. Is it as hot and intense as our Texas weather? Thanks for coming by Svvie. Always a pleasure to see you. :)

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! :)

Joyfully dwelling in summer-- your poem evokes fabulous images, Linda:--antiquated book stores, picnics on a bronze beach, bare feet on polished floors--sweet homemade lemonade, slushy, syruped snow cones--you take the reader there, through power of your pen-- to simple days of summer!
