Summer
The following poems are for this month’s Poetic Voices collaboration. The topic is: Summer.
1.
I love summer time!
The sun is so bright and hot.
The sky is so blue.
2.
Here the summer blooms -
pretty flowers galore! – in
the field of my youth.
3.
In the summer time
I will go swoosh on a swing
beneath an oak tree.
4.
On a hot June day
I will swim in the river
and dry on the shore.
4.
The hot summer days
will be spent in the tall grass
watching the white clouds.
5.
On cool summer nights
I will sit by a camp fire
and sing camping songs.
6.
When it is too hot
I will sit on the front porch
sipping lemonade.
7.
My best friend and I
like to pick the green apples.
They make me pucker.
8.
Under a shade tree
I will suck on popsicles.
Orange is my favourite.
9.
On a summer day
I will fly a big red kite
in the park with dad.
10.
After the picnic
I will eat watermelon;
spit out the black seeds.
11.
On July the fourth
the dark night sky becomes bright
with red, white and blue.
12.
They say that august
is the “dog days” of summer.
What dogs do they mean?
12.
You must not go out
for the day without sunscreen.
SPF 30.
13.
Mounting frustration
sitting in the traffic jam.
There is no A/C.
