The Scent of Summer's Day

Breezes on boardwalks
                 that carry its essence
Suntans are fragranced
                   by its very presence
Beach balls are bandied
                        within its cachet
Whitecaps that rush salted
                         flurries my way

Taffy that’s pulling my nose
                               to the door
Sugared delight
                   cotton candy galore
Coconut sandies that
                          flavor my eyes
One whiff of chocolate
             I’m hooked, no surprise

Perfume of lemons
                    on girls strolling by
Peanuts’ aroma
                       by gift of the sky
French Fries and burgers
                  and hot dogs for you
Make everybody
                 know just what to do



Oh, how I long for
          the scent of Summer’s day
