Work done
Afternoon sun
Deck chair calling my name
It’s offer of short rest I do claim

From the Meadow
Sweet sounds fill the air
Birds in the meadow singing
Music to my ears

Midsummer’s Moon
Midsummer evening
Enjoying a walk with friends
Full moon shining down

Pool Time
The sun of summer has finally come,
And the neighborhood pool is now home for some.
Shouts and laughter can be heard from afar,
As people gather to swim and to spar.
The pool seems to bring out the child in everyone,
It fosters creativity as games are made up and played for fun.
Adults, as well as children, laugh, splash and play.
What a wonderful family activity on a hot summer day !

SUMMER Acrostic
Sunny days are here
Umbrellas now put away
Many take vacations
Mountains and beaches are visited
Evenings are often spent outdoors
Relatives gather at family picnics
Time is made for outside activities
Indoors is not where most want to be
Music and laughter are all around
Everyone enjoys summertime
Happy First Day of Summer! June 21, 2013

Come and Gone
June, it seems you just arrived,
Yet your 18 days are nearly gone,
only 12 more remain to be seen,
and then never more shall you dawn.
You’ve given me memories to cherish,
Adventures and surprises galore,
June, I will enjoy your daily presence,
Until you, or I, are no more.

Unwelcome Visitor
Sitting on my deck
Enjoying the view,
of clouds so white and fluffy
and skies of brilliant blue.
Things seem so peaceful,
As far as eye can see,
Until a little spider,
Decides to visit me!

Pool Time
Sounds of children’s laughter
Fills the balmy air.
Neighborhood pool is open,
Families gather there.
Splashing, swimming fun,
Enjoying life together.
Basking in the sun,
June is pool time weather.
