This sounds like summer in the South, Paula. I actually saw two boys reel in a hammerhead shark on the RIVER here. I thought the river was safe for swimming, but sharks travel up from Ponce Inlet. A catch of eight fish must have made for a great dinner. Wish we never brought those love bugs to Florida! I've missed you, but haven't been online (am sick). Enjoyed this poem very much, Paul! Hugs, carolyn
