Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Summer Dreamland

My bathing suit under a sundress
I race to the end of the dock
where my adirondack chair calls to me

A canoe glides by in the distance
and a blue heron is poised for breakfast...
the placid lake awaits an August sunrise

Making the most of vacation adventure
a swim at crack of dawn
an oversized mug of iced coffee 
a light summer novel...

Is there a better way to start a summer day?
