Sultry summer winds with diamond dust skies
Crickets rubbing wings and bright fireflies
Slumbers past noon plus late watching cartoons
Chlorine clear blues in water wrapped cocoons
---
Sun drenched dermis and popsicle stained lips
Endless pool dips, hopscotch, and pick up sticks
Video tape rentals with popcorn buckets
Lizard catching and roof climbing ruckus
---
Bike rides in the hushed nights, chased by wild dogs
Water meter probes for large cool frogs
Plush grass picnics and mosquito bites
Cookouts and charred foods was hungers invite
---
Grandma’s house reigned freedom in summertime
Thoughts of pure raw joy, summer never dies
