Ah, Summer…

Waves and seagulls, and
Skies made for painting,
Ice cream trucks and watermelon seeds
And lazy streams in shaded glens
Where dragonflies lead to fairy dens.

Moonlit walks and dusty trails,
Kites and flip-flops, storms and rainbows,
Sails and snails and lemonade,
Crickets sing, zinnias smile ~
Ah, yes…
Summer’s come to stay a while.
