Summertime Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Gina McIntosh ~ July 14, 2023
One of those humid, hard-to-breathe summers when flowers bloom across meadows and fields. Fireflies glow at night to songs of hummers, cicada; whose loud army never yields Days at the beach, building castles of sand Fishing trips to catch and cook our own feast Time spent in the sun until we were tanned Watching the golden orb rise in the East Swinging on the porch, strong arms around me Grateful for my blessings and wafts of breeze Quite content with life, and sipping sweet tea watching limbs sway in weeping willow trees Whispered words spoken beneath starlit skies Love like ours brings tears of joy to my eyes
