Summer
Summer is warm days and nights
Sun beating down
Making cicadas buzz
And your soda sweat
Summer is good food
Barbecue smoke and checkered picnic blankets
Ice cream dripping stickiness down your chin
And lemonade pitchers with clicking ice
Summer is different places
Road trips down highways that go on forever
Burn-your-feet sand on beaches
And tents in the green woods
Summer is being with family
In the back yard playing ball
Marco-Polo in the ice cold pool
And taking a long hike with the dog
Summer is making memories
Tanning brown by the water
Gooey s'mores by the fire pit
And sweating buckets as soon as you step outside.
