Sunshine looses the battle
Oranges encased in ice...

Popsicles for sun
Drops on chin...excess oozes 
Slow boat to the sea

Love was standing 
On a street corner
Near this 
News paper stand
Eating a 
Cherry Popsicle...

Children splashing in a plastic pool,
Eating popsicles and staying cool.

OBSTACLES
There are so many obstacles
How can we overcome to reach the impossibles
Do you have to anything to replace follicles
I will give you all of the popsicles

Beatrice
lives down the block
she
likes her porch
she has a big
darning basket
with socks 
and yarn
Beatrice
lives in that rocking chair
I swear
back and forth
when we run by to the store
for popsicles
she never gets one...

Tuxedoed and sequinned 
Sixty starlings sing in the driving rain 
Facing where the sun should be 
Each pinnacles atop a leaf-bare branch
Black popsicles upon October's tree 
Leaf confetti blowing to the ground
As they loudly choir their symphony...

We were a motley crew
No pirate flag or eye patches
Still we were gloriously dangerous
The neighborhood kids
The south side gang
We tore up the air with laughter
Running house to house with popsicles
Tormenting the dogs who chased after us
Wanting to be in laps that never sat...

Morning breaks clouds rise
Heat of the day commences
Ice in drinks we need
Cool refreshments and pool trips
All to subvert heat
Blazing Sun melt popsicles
Sprinklers make rainbows
Children enjoy their school break
Summers almost done
Fall brings in a new season
Remember summer...

heated atmosphere 
blazing temperatures so boils
100 degrees old

shirtless Bomb Pop man
delivering popsicles
 they melt  now Kool-Aid

bodies wet like rain
all they're doing is sweating
glad when it's cool --gain

Childhood memories--a magical land,
Building dreams amid castles of sand.
Sleepovers underneath starry skies,
Ghost stories, popsicles, blueberry pies!
We never paused to regard our delight;
Then we were gone-- grew up overnight.

hot and sweltering  
         pink lemonade popsicles drip
               
lemon sweet drops
on crisp linen aprons
                                         
burning               
with anticipation                                        
     cool sensations                                             
          satisfy deeply ~...

The Dog's Fun with Grandma

My daughter's dog is in love with me?
His dish like, excited eyes seem starving.
But over my legs he goes balmy licking, 
Oh, that ~Olive lotion from Crete!

My legs are ambrosial popsicles to him!
That pooch cannot for hours stop licking.
Oh, that divine exuberance, from the sprit of Mt Olympus ~
Olive lotion from Crete!

Cold is so relaxing:
Ice cubes and snow on all the winter sleighs
Strawberry ice-cream
And Cloudy winter days
Popsicles so colorful
Wind in you hair
The continent of Antarctica
The white fur of a polar bear

Hot is so relaxing:
Steamy showers
Cute, cuddly dogs
Having heat ray powers
A partially burned log
A hot, hot oven 
And jalapeno peppers
Yes, for sure, the heat is what I'm lovin'...

Cold air of winter.
Trees with no leaves.
The snowflakes softly falling.
Nights by crackling fire.

Time of new birth.
Gentle breeze is blowing.
Sweet smelling flowers blooming.
A sunny Spring day.

Days by the ocean.
Delicious smell of barbecue.
Children lick their popsicles.
Summer sun is shining.

Leaves start to fall.
The air turns crisp.
The days turn short.
Autumn is upon us.

You taste like sin
But smell like summer:
Heat waves on the pavement,
Downy detergent and cotton t-shirts,
Red popsicles,
Lemonade and decades-old melodies,
Hot rain in the middle of a pool party;
Our bathing suits are already soaked,
Yet we run for cover nonetheless.
Invite me in,
Let me dry you off 
And wring you out.
I’ll be your midday nap
And midnight snack.
You taste like sin
But look like a saint....

Making food for your family early in the morning puts
You in a very happy mood and makes you proud
{But only when you don't do it often}having fun playing 
In the sun all day makes you come closer and not 
Stray from the happy days you want to have every day
Like in May with popsicles or inside with targeting 
Missiles, games and social networks make you stray from reality
Crazay, but all that maters is that you have a happy day...

Miserable Midsummer

‘Tis midsummer, and we have no choice;
The thermometers have reached a peak,
Three digits creeping and sticking,
Air conditioners running full speed.

We look at heat waves out the window
We wait for dusk and something cold
Hope mama remembered popsicles,
And little bathers splash so bold.

We wait for the big weatherman
To say there’s a break, I smell fall,
Midsummer comes, but it will go,
And gold and red will cover all....

Sequence of winter  icicles                
frozen over like popsicles            
we are puffed like dropsical        

weathering snow we walk into        
a fortress named, "Fairies Igloo"   
to look for the girl in blue      

she, Deity of the forest glen     
has silky hair of red cayenne       
and chirrs like a lovely wren     

its the season of snow and love     
as peaceful as a mourning dove  
she was sent, from up above .
