Pink skin, freckled noses
Ponytails and blooming roses
Wet towels on the porch rail
Seashells in a sandy pail
Bare feet, shady trees
Bee stings and skinned knees
Scent of woodsmoke and charcoal
Lazy days, good for my soul
Sparklers and ice cream
Fireflies and moonbeams
Picnic blanket in the grass
Cottony clouds that slowly pass
Bike rides and baseball caps
Lemonade and mid-day naps
Stay out late because we can
Then sleep beneath a ceiling fan
Popsicles and swimming pools
Sprinklers for keeping cool
Thunderstorms, another reason
Summer is my favorite season
Loved your poem!

Here’s a poem of Summer a fellow wrote for me. I follow him on fb. He’s a pretty good writer!
Summer, by Steve Skafte
a bug buzzed my mind
a warm and dry static
was shattered by summer rain
the pain of planting
still burns in my back
as I sit on the deck
and watch the clouds crying
I could be dying
and it wouldn’t matter
heaven is closer than it seems
between my toes
(and buried beneath
my daydreams)
