Summer

in the summer days of melting ice-cream 
joy and laughter as the young players scream 
delighting in the bays wet, ebb and flow 
with not a care in the sun it would seem

The sand and breeze do not exact a low
but increase the pleasure as the young go
they laugh and build castles and abide time 
enjoying the game when the sun's on show 

running and diving they submerge in rhyme
the summer vacation a warming mime 
a brief interlude that will soon be cool
encapsulates passing of seasons time

I don't agree with your doppelganger. But, IMHO, after reading your first attempt, (which was so great), I can't believe this was done by the same poet! Still, this is nice.
