Summer Days

in the summer days of melting ice-cream 
joy and laughter as the young players scream 
delighting in the bays ebb and flow, wet 
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 damp castles so mighty 
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

You know what they say, the third times the charm. : ) I know this feeling, I remember those summers at the beach, the anticipation, the thought it was never going to get here and then it arrived and was over in a flash. Fall showed up with its cool weather and summer was gone. Then it started over...waiting on summer. Well, maybe Christmas, but then summer. : ) Really nicely done. And as far as your note below...I know that feeling too at times. Keep writing my friend.

3rd attempt - missed the rhyme scheme some days I am too excited to read properly - engrossed by writing, the parameters sometimes escape me
