Vacation At the River

River never sleeps
by the city,
nightlights
highlight
the dance craze faze
of evening party-goers
upon blue waves;
swimmers
sailboats
descend during days.

Time speeds by
as children thrill
yelling
splashing
elation-filled
river walk’s, 
shopping sprees
raking in 
green dollar bills;
folks enjoying 
summer grills,
need tummy pills
by vacation’s end.

Gershon Wolf Date: 7/27/2020 5:26:00 PM Tummy pills, eh?! Ha, ha. Such a cute description fits like a glove on this cute, nostalgic write!... This year so many are taking 'virtual trips.' Can't compare, I say. (Except when you're talking price. And who wants to quibble about price when on a vacation!). Cheers, Gershon Login to Reply M. L.
