The Summer Looms

The summer looms, with days to fill
Since things are not routine.
No school means extra time to kill;
No rules to intervene.

Yet structure helps to pass the time,
So people won’t be bored
And having fun is not a crime;
It is its own reward.

Once plans are made, it’s extra nice
To set some time aside
To laze around and roll the dice,
For life will be the guide.

Very seasonal, Ilene. I'm expecting a very nice, peaceful segue from spring to summer here.

That sounds like a great happy mood to have. The sunny days means aot of new things to do. I love this concept.

That's how the summers of my youth were. Today they are just another season. Though much better than winter!! Nicely done, Ilene
