Best Summertime Poems

 Summertime heats the birds and bonny boughs.
Wings lighthearted and flapping with the breeze.
Likewise, the scent of honeysuckles arouse
A ring - the wedding bells of buzzing bees.

Yet, the downpour of sweat, the pavement roast,
Burnt on both sides. Oh never mind… The sun
Resounds the flute, and...

Summertime Fun – On the Beach

When I’m feeling hot, hot, hot,
the beach is certainly my ideal fun spot!
Wearing sunglasses and floppy hat plopped on my head,
I’m lunging under an umbrella in my bathing suit so red.
As I play with my bare feet in the warm...

I think of summertime as an old friend,
for it’s when school let out and I could play!
Just like a young girl, still I hate its end.

I know that summer’s just around the bend
when warmer days begin in early May.
I think of summertime as an old...

Sing to the tune of Jingle Bell Rock:

Summertime, summertime, summer time rocks.
Summertime comes and kids yell hurrah.
Bikin’ and swimmin’ at some park’s big pool;
in the summertime, no more school!

Summertime, summertime, summertime rocks.
Summertime’s fun when school is all done.
Playin’ and stayin’ in summer time’s mood,
good times...

Summertime, summertime, summertime bop
Come why not to the summertime hop
Movin’ n’ groovin’ dancers everywhere
Wearing flowers in their hair.

Summertime, summertime, summertime bop
Boppin’ around the clock till one drops
Swingin’ and swayin’ havin’ a great time
Until midnight chimes.

For young hearts it’s a brill time
To bop away all day
Summertime’s...

Summer is the most awaiting season
Reservoir of holidays and pleasure
Great time for us with its major reason-
To delight everyone beyond measure

Summer sun will shine gaily all day long
Inviting us to enjoy all outdoors
Paean of beckoning blue waves prolong
To declare beaches’ comforts and splendor

Fire tree flowers...

Summer times are spent in the orchard of apples and pears
That old wooden rope swing; all frayed, from over the years

Hazy days in the summer house, watching the children play
Puppy dogs running around chasing the butterflies all a gay

Homemade lemonade. and jam sandwiches cut into...

The tint of departing spring leaves for me
a bunch of red rose I keep in my heart
with touch of love as soft as dew could be,
in summer heat the flowers won’t get hurt.

In moon-splashed hot summer night I take you 
to the brook’s blue bank...

summer breeze… scorching heat… splash of rain

laughing loud… giggling soft… summertime

Summer fun in the glorious sunshine,
high spirits and glowing smiles.
Everything seems worth while. With
warm embrace upon you're face.

Summer is in full bloom, mother nature
she is  exquisitely bliss in all colours of
flowers and upon butterflies wings and
many more marvellous things.

An uplifting feeling from an energising...

It's summertime and time to have some fun.  Put away my coats and boots and
find that box of flip flops, sundresses and shorts.  Oh, so many wonderful things
to do and to behold . . . 

pick some wildflowers in the woods
I could wear...

Summer settles into my bones
	as I breathe the dust of mown lawns
		and the heady scent of roses, peacefully
listening to my heart’s hasty beat, 
as I walk through the summertime 
wrestling with my yearnings, the dawn
	lowering her blessings across my spirit
		singing melancholic notes
and echoing lights, reflecting...
