summer Poetic Asides

 Summertime

 

Cicadas and crickets singing their tunes

Rising up early for hot-air balloons

Cold water creek rushing past bare toes

Flip flops, sun glasses, and minimal clothes

 

Picnics and baseball all among friends

Yards sales selling their odds and their ends

Splashing around in oceans, lakes, pools

Building sand castles with miniature tools

 

Weeding the garden and mowing the lawn

Waking up early at first crack of dawn

Bicycles, kayaks, jet skis in use

Celebrating for any excuse

 

Despite aches and pains, gray hair and wrinkles,

Summer’s the time when youthfulness twinkles.
