Get some sunshine,
get a bruise,
play a game
that you might lose.

Go out fishing,
ride your bike,
skate the park
or take a hike.

Find some friends
and climb a tree,
try to catch
a honeybee.

Swim the lake
or in your tub,
watch the stars
or join a club.

Don’t just sit
inside all day,
if you must
then play with clay.

Build a blanket
fort with chairs,
help your figures
climb the stairs.

Take a break from
lights and screens,
read a book,
imagine scenes.

Don’t let summer
go to waste,
it will soon be
gone with haste.Get some sunshine,
get a bruise,
play a game
that you might lose.

Don’t let summer
go to waste,
it will soon be
gone with haste.

"if you must then play with clay" :) This made me smile and giggle all at the same time. So cute and creative indeed. I like this poem about moments in the Summertime. My favorite would be- lingering outside in the rain. :) Brandy

There are many exciting moments you mentioned here. :) I like them all. Some rain has caressed my world, but could use so much more. Hmm, I will send some your way, maybe it will reach you. ~ Brandy

I have a nephew that works with clay - keeps him busy and active on a hot summer day. We could use a little rain out here in the high plains of the West; it's a little crispy right now! I'm betting my entire city would be out dancing in it. -Cary
