Teen Memoirs of Summer

That teen joy in a mirror to look,
       And get my nose out of a book!
       Tanned skin, ever so supple and soft .
       Outside the window, an erotic sun aloft.


Waves lapping the shore of the lake,
Strawberry lipstick, tastes better than cake.
Her summer beau, stands waiting at the shore
With a necklace for her, she will love forever more.


       Walks with him at night on gravel roads.
       Grasshoppers in concert sing, and melodies by toads.
       These eternal summers, live on so divine.
       Still dance in her, forever-summer sublime!

How romantic and full of young love those days of summer were. Your beautiful poem of summer love brought back suck fun memories for me. Thank you my dear friend for sharing your poetry with us. This has been a fun day now that I've read some of your poetry. :-) Hugs, Bill

An intimate scene from the 1950's movie, A Summer Place! Romantic, a bit erotic, yet innocent. Robert

Robert! Zowie! You got the year right!! Fantastic. Your description of the poem, quite right on! I forgot the movie. Just have the movie of my nights and days those phenomenal summers. Sigh! Thank you. Panagiota xxx

This one doesn't just resonate, Pangie; it positively vibrates! Wonderful! Nothing like those old summer days. Looking back, I feel like singing Sinatra's 'A Summer Wind.' Au Revoir, gw

Gershon. May I take this opportunity to express my appreciation of you as a poet and phenomenal mensch? Who does not attack other poets! You are a class act, my friend. And highly appreciated for your humanity, humility and honor. There are others like you here, they know who they are. Yes…sing the Summer Wind, do. I recognize the beauty of this poem. I can feel, smell and taste those days! Panagiota xxx

Hello my friend Darlene! I hope you are having a good day. We all have good memories that we should really hang onto and not focus on so much negativity that goes on. I think she tried to find whatever is beautiful in this play for example the joy and having a cat and I know how much you love nature so that could be your focus. Panagiota XXX

Greetings Linda! I am glad to know I painted a lovely scene I wish I could do a better job on it though. I forgot to say that at night, the windows were open and you could hear gentle waves touching the shore. That was wonderful! And that memory lives on forever! Panagiota XXX
