Prompt of choice: 2.) Find your one very favorite picture of summer and write a poem about it.
(Considering I took about 3,000 pictures in the months of June, July and August, this was kind of hard.)
In the midst of autumn, my favorite season, I still appreciate the idea of carefree summer days (an infrequent reality). This picture captures my favorite things about summer.
Lollypops and Pollywogs
Sunshine, sunscreen, summer breeze,
Girls’ giggles as they tease.
Bright bold colors, pinks and blues
Green green grass, forget the shoes.
Sprinkler showers, lollypops,
Rope swing high and stomach flops.
Sweet bee buzz attracting flowers
Play away the daylight hours.
Hair fanned out like golden streamers
Flying flags of little dreamers
Peering down, all eyes agog
Watery creature, pollywog.

Great poem...makes me wish it was summer again. That's a beautiful pic, by the way.
Perfect picture to go with that adorable poem!! Great job...I'll have to tweet this one!
Beautiful poem and beautiful picture!!
This is the perfect poem of summer. Thank you so much! It made me all warm and summery and since it is 34 and snowing outside that's something to be proud of.
What a nice picture. Of course, around here it is tadpole tadpole, ....
Seems a shame to waste so much summer when it is snowing here. Oh well, we can read and remember.
I really enjoyed this! Watching kids so enthralled in something is so fun. :)
My new blog is up, would love to have you visit!
This was a wonderful poem! I just loved it -- and it does capture so much of what is great about summer! Nicely done!
Love the pic!
