Ode to Summer (a poem in free verse!)


Baseball, baseball, baseball...

hot bleachers, cold snow cones

fireworks, Grandma's house

lazy afternoons, lego cities

building forts in the trees

swimming, slides, sprinklers

to the beach! to the beach!

sandy feet, sunglasses, surf

play dough, popsicles,

corn on the cob, watermelon

old friends come for a visit

last blast--a trip to the lake

Learning and relearning patience, kindness

school shopping, schedules, haircuts

Making memories...
