Poem # 18

title: "Summer Winds"


"warm. hot. burning.
sidewalks steaming, ice cream churning.
pools are overflowing with splashing kids, and fans are using up all the electricity.
air conditioning never felt so good.
shorts. tanks tops. swim suits.
pool parties scheduled back to back, homework is the #1 lack,
all fun and games all day long,
movies, malls, guys and girls,
some heads start to frizz,
camps are running rampant.
late night sleepovers, waking up at 2pm.
church in sun dresses, sharing tears, fears, and good times,
no plans. no cares. dark tans.
summer winds blow all throughout the three months, spreading joy and laughter, the air is clear and school is nowhere near."
