Summer Glitter

august sunshine
bringing out
the last glimmer of summer
the glitter in her hair
the radiance
of her smile

goodbye summer skies
the perfect backdrop
for her childish charm
and laughter

I truly love the idea of August. NOT! Line, we have 11 more days of school, and we start back at the beginning of August. You must not have known this when you reminded me how soon August will be here! Please refrain from throwing August into poems the end of May. Just kidding. Nice one, my friend!

Thanks, Michelle... I'm just going by memory because we have not seen any sun here for a long long time!
