Summer Fun
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

Popsicles and lollipops,
Pollywogs and pogos.
Skipping ropes and hula hoops,
Magic shows and mojos.

Summer is a time of fun,
Roller-coasting at the fairs.
Popsicles and candy floss,
Hide-and-Seeking with no cares.

Bicycles and roller skates,
Games of Throw-and-Catch.
Building castles on the beach,
Berry-picking at the patch.

A picnic on a blanket,
And soaking up some sun.
Playing Tag and swimming,
~ Summer's lots of fun!


“Happiness is a state of mind.
Think happy! ~ Be happy!”
~ Linda L. Dowd

Landry Leigh just LOVES this ... she just got back from the beach over the weekend and has been brushing up on her swimming lessons in the pool~

She is saying, "~Poet~, let me see it again."

(and she wants this funny face too)

Thank you for making this little grandie girlies day !!

MT ~

Good morning, Poet! I am tickled pink that Landry Leigh liked my fun in the sun poem! I enjoy writing for children. Actually it is the little girl in me who writes them!

Giving her a great big hug and a giant snow cone!

Landry Leigh, thank you for making my day as well!

Would the little girl in you like to come play with the little girl in me?

I actually still do most of the things I wrote about in my poem. My inner child can be quite persistent at times ~ and she usually gets her way! lol

These joyful words are like sunbeams that warm the skin ... AND the heart.

Another one for your book for children, which of course I will buy for my grandson.

A deal?

Love and hugs, Cherub - angioletto!

Ah yes, if I try real hard I can remember holes in my jeans, rolled up cuffs, barefoot, and heading out to the creek for a day of fishing and swimming.  Great write EA.  Thanks for taking me back.

My goodness! What a cute response! I'd love for you to write a poem about that little boy that you once were ~ and who still resides in you, Texan Man.

There truly is a poem begging to be written by you, m'friend!

Another sunshine poem
from an angel sent our way,
to remind us all that childhood
should never slip away.
Popsicles and lollipops
no matter we're now Grans n Pops
Hula hoops and skipping ropes
to keep alive our youthful hopes.
The essence of life's pleasures
bathes our inner child with sun
as we all enjoy the sunshine
in Earth Angels summer fun!

Spring greetings, Belle! Well, m'dear, it would seem to me, that this summer, you best be makin' up for lost time!
We can frollick on the beach in our bikinis and attract some guys with our scarlet- coloured pails and shovels! lol

~ and let's see who builds the tallest sand castle! If we don't get a prince, at least we'll each have a castle! (P.S. I hope my BF doesn't read this! lol

May you have fun in the sun this summer!

Loves 'n hugs,
Linda
