The Real Meaning of Summer

the feeling and smell of sweet sweat,
beating of the hot and scorching sunshine,
ringing and repetitive happy tunes of the ice cream truck,
splashing around in the lake and pool,
being close to the one you love to spend time with,
staying up late just because you can,
watching the sunset among all it's beautiful colors,
or star gazing,
as you look for that special shooting star,
going to the drive in, and trying your best to avoid the bugs,
the sent of tropical suntan lotion layered on your skin,
spending time with such fantastic friends,
and relaxing in all your splendor

Beautiful writing...the good ol' summertime...now that's something I'm looking forward to come after all of this messy snow and rain...I love your poem tremendously and I appreciate the privilege of having you share it with all of us...Note: 3rd line from the bottom, edit and put a >c< in your scent. I guess I should've been a proof reader..[smile]..Sometimes I do the same thing when I write, especially when in a hurry..Lawrence in Lou. Ky.
