A Summer Glance

He awoke from his sleepy slumber,
To the smell of fruits, water, and cut grass.
The kids ran, and the doors opened,
As the guards unlocked the gate to give pass.

The sun's rays covered every leaf and crack,
As they gave warmth to the town's melancholy mood,
And the families gave way to the tables and cars,
Which set up shop for fun and food.

The adults laughed, and the kids played,
Hide-and-Seek amongst the tall field.
The peopled yawned and the eyelids dropped,
As the tumbling kids began to yield.

The cars slowly rumbled away,
As the man returned to his drowsy trance,
And the golden sun set in the distance,
For what he saw was a summer glance.

Erick, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
