Summertime Poems

             Steamy summertime
             An open loving boat sings

Summertime: that's when all is hot and dry,
The sea is calm, and beneath a shade we lie,
Then it is time to go for a cool dip.
After which a long cold drink we will sip.

The ice-cream vendor slowly passes by
We called...Read More

Summer sun bakes the desert hot rocks near sand
Swimming pool, cool decking, green grass welcomes
Warmest season, diving board jump and splash
Smiles, laughter, enjoyment; now lunchtime chips and dip, with yummy ginger ale hums.

Sky blue, vivid green, sunshine yellow settle on...Read More

They had kept me imprisoned there for three full days,
In that sparse, solitary room, of scarce sunshine rays.

Having good food to eat, had never been a problem; 
They brought hot meals, but the problem was boredom!

At least, they had the...Read More

Throw bold differences that inspire our colorblind eyes and cast themselves out of their opaque truth and discover feeling reality
Everyone feels the crimson hatred that we all burn this world with
Just as the icy blues that we all shatter the...Read More

Kids in the summer,
Running, jumping, and playing.
Biking in the neighborhood,
Yelling Loudly down the streets,
Not ready for school to start....Read More

SUMMERTIME
 
Summertimes are spent in the orchard of apples and pears
The 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...Read More

                        Love You, Always!


 In summertime, our love is enduring, like gardenias floating in the breeze.
 In wintertime, our...Read More

Sad eye lady,
don’t be afraid to come to me
Let your past tears
fall upon my shoulders freely
My embrace, please don’t shun

Crying woman,
I can see why you trust no one
Only bad things seem to ever happen
when you open up your heart
All your...Read More

to the Peach cobbler My Desert Favorite- -
 
YUm!!! peach cobbler, you inspire me to eat.
How I love the way you’re juicy and sweet,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Dreaming about the huge seed hard and tight.

Let me compare...Read More

Lyric sing it you’re so beautiful yet, beautiful you are you’re air, so fair;
Singing I am singing song I sing…
With words, you’re heard lyric you are my music and I am quick, to deduce this…

June magic, in the form of a scrolling woman, wise.
Bringing silver crescent moon closer in our eyes.
Sprinkling trees with faerie princess aluminum spark.
Enjoying white bark’s daisy followers, illuminating dark. 

June magic, aquamarine vessel of my heart,
Blowing in with wind from...Read More

A posy for me,
And a posy for you,
O’Summer speaks,
And swinging tunes,
Swing me to you.

Squalling seagulls sip the morning sunshine
Crashing surf brings fresh crustaceans ashore
Flocks of gulls scavenge in the summertime
Seen diving and fighting, hoping to score

Crashing surf brings fresh crustaceans ashore
A rogue wave sends a feeding pair in flight
Seen diving and fighting, hoping...Read More

On this street, they only grow roses,
Way down south, where summertime dozes,
By a mutually pleasing, neighborly pact,
The effect of which is a stunning impact!

The Street of Roses is famed for beauty!
For roses purple, gold, orange, and ruby.
For arbors, fountains, statues...Read More

I love the colors, so vivid and bright,
Bringing springtime into my sight
Flowers so flamboyant they delight
Amid nature’s promise, all in white
~
I love the green and emerald places
That summertime shares in traces
Of lawn, tree and plants that embraces
Our beautiful sunlit days...Read More

sunflowers drowsy     
shorter days longer shadows
summertime closing

I'm hanging on to summertime
like monkeys hanging on a vine,
like kitty cats on old screen doors,
like winter snows in Labrador,
like spiders on a silken thread,
like bellies that were overfed,
like kites trapped in an apple tree,
but Fall will come eventually....Read More

Summertime is on vacay and winters on it's way,
but in-between those little months fall takes it's place,
breaking leaves fall off the trees and crowd the walk ways,
a crunching sound step by step, a step i'd like to take, 

to the...Read More

At the edge of a wood, in days of summertime,
Lived Hansel and Gretel, once upon a time;
Whose dear father, a poor woodcutter,
Could no longer earn their bread and butter.
Late one night, a conversation overheard--
As from sleeping, the children had been...Read More

The unwitting days of Autumn,
And the carefree days of Fall—
They bid farewell to Summertime,
And without a care, at all.

And were the Fall to think a thought,
Whatever would it be?
Other than to contemplate 
Which of all the leaves to free.

For She...Read More

We drove along the secondary streets of Iowa,
Towards my grandparents’ large farm.  
How excited we felt for this seemed like a yearly pilgrimage
To visit my old folks back home.

I always loved summertime with my grandparents.
Though I knew they worked...Read More

 I  thought I had forgotten
the end of summertime,
I thought I stopped remembering
that last night you were mine.

Moments side by side
before fresh petals dried.

But like an autumn sun in skies of blue,
Low I sink in you.
Recalling our slow dance
far...Read More

Fool’s fall morning feels like summertime day.
How can we be deceived by the seasons?
Our world spinning round and round and round. 
Tricking our minds, changing our thoughts.
Am I the only one who sees it all?
Feeling like winter, then summer again.
I...Read More
