Signs Of Summer Ahead


Oh, the pleasures of summer! I love the warm weather, long days of sunshine, more time to play outside.

My poem was inspired by sports memorabilia on a table.


Take me out to the ballgame!
Peanuts, popcorn, crackerjacks, and beer.
Signs of summer ahead.

Shorts, skorts, t-shirts, and flip flops,

Children playing hide-and-go-seek in the yard.

Watermelons, pink and juicy,

Oranges with a zest,
Peaches, fuzzy and sweet.

Corn on the cob,

Fresh apple pie,
Barbecued burgers on the grill.

Friends gather at the end of the day

Enjoying the last sunshine
With a dance at the park.

School's out,

Vacation's on,
Everyone can hardly wait
For those lazy days of summer.

These are signs of summer ahead,

My favorite time of year.

Sarah - 2006
