Summer

Nostalgic memories of having root beer floats with my grandmother While Sitting on her steps scents of lilacs and peony’s waft through the air Watching fuzzy caterpillars, mosquitoes and grasshoppers that are near Feeling the warm sunshine on my body, and the breeze tickle my nose Precious moments of joy frozen in time with no worries about tomorrow listening to nighttime peepers and watching for fireflies to appear carnival sounds in the distance of inviting fair rides and booths Fried dough and cotton candy will forever be pleasures of my youth 7/4/19 submitted to contest: Nostalgia, any form, any number of lines, sponsored by Brian Strand.
