Summer Time

In summer time, I'll roast some hot dogs:
and the marshmallows that I desire
with the funnest of friends I admire
by the flames of a cozy warm fire
as the simple but best times transpire.

(for Brian Strand's rhyme time list contest)

Sharon Winter Date: 1/18/2010 5:13:00 AM Ooops, sorry. Meant to say this list poem sounds awesome and brings back fun memories. Sure sounds inviting in the midst of winter!!! Nice work! xoxo Login to Reply

Sharon Winter Date: 1/18/2010 5:11:00 AM You clever girl you keep pulling me here with your thoughtful comments. About Breakdown, no it actually was an ekphrasis which is a poem about a piece of art. It was Jackson Pollock's Orange Head for a Brian Strand contest. It could be used for many who suffer at times being on the edge, depression, etc. I am not here for good reasons, a long emotional process of moving, plus I just became a grandmother (wow-that was a real surprise-but a blessing) so, just busy in life. Thanks again! xoxoxo Login to Reply
