Notes About The Poem

Summertime Fun

I love the hot summer sunshine
and the colourful garden flowers
I can sunbathe on my large patio
and write poetry for many hours!

I love to pick fruit in my garden
I’ve got netting to keep off the birds
They still manage to peck my strawberries
If I see them I say some rude words!

I love to go down to the beach
and watch the small children play
They build enormous sandcastles 
then cry when waves wash them away!

I love to see the cute little donkeys
which take children for a long ride
The donkeys walk on golden sand
but they go home at the high tide

I love to go to the beach for a picnic
my husband makes food for our tea
But we will sit on a bench to eat it
I don’t like my sandwiches sandy!

I love to visit the ice cream parlour
they have ice creams of every flavour
I’m tempted to try something different
but from chocolate I'll rarely waiver!

I love to watch the sun setting
I adore the warm golden glow
We’ll stroll along the promenade
until the sun fades, then it’s time to go

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/14/2018 10:36:00 PM Nice wholesome fun, Jan … Of course those poems you write on the patio are bawdy, salacious limericks, no doubt. :) gw Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 6/15/2018 1:35:00 AM oh as if I would do that Gershon lol I do write the odd serious poem and there is a deal of poetic licence as I am not a sunbather lol:-) hugs Jan xx
