Summer's melted ice cream is running down your hand.... While building up a castle from the ocean's crusty sand.... Running through the schoolyard when no teachers are around.... and diving under water where there's not a single sound.... Summer is cotton candy, when the carnival's in town.... Swinging on the ferris wheel (but never upside-down!) Going on a picnic with the grown-ups everywhere.... Then sneaking off to catch a frog just down the creek somewhere.... Summer's on the back yard lawn looking up at all the sky.... Wondering what it would feel like to flap your wings and fly? Hopping on your old red bike that you worked real hard to earn.... Then trying to make those tires go faster than you thought they'd ever turn!! Summer is for dreamers she leaves an open door.... And even though it's said, "you can't go back, no way, no more".... She's made of you a poet She falls into your pen.... Then spills onto your paper 'Summers Fancies' ~~~~~'Tis the End~~~~~ My heart is an open book ....take a look.... |

Sunny1~ Laughter fills the pages with summers of delight Sandcastles built by day tumble in the night Roar of oceanic thoughts sweep over me on the shore Summertime remembrances I keep forevermore *Well, sometimes ya' just spark a little inspiration ! Enjoyed plundering your thoughts. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
