Hmmmm, Let's Go

summertime

Hmmmm, come on baby let’s go

We’ll drive to the end of that old dirt road 

Where you and I use to skip stones

We’ll pop-a-top and slow dance

With the setting sun, skinny dip.

Come on.

The summer sun will set the tone

As we blaze down that old dirt road.

Hmmmm, come on baby let’s go

There’s nowhere I’d rather be

Scoot on over and sit with me

As the music plays we’ll reminisce. 

Let’s relive that first kiss.

Hmmmm, let’s go.

how could I not read a poem with such an enticing title ;) thank you for your spark, Cherrie Palmer! .. such wonderful youthful memories ignited and brought to life...both real and false :)) I never owned a car that had any room in it to "Scoot on over..." ... until I took this ride... eagerly I must confess.... in "Hmmmm, Let's Go" ... the language fits the 50s and 60s says i .. fine story telling .. very enjoyable read for me ma'am! filled in as many details as I wanted to and hung them on your strong framework and guiding lines ... I appreciate this up-lifting poem this morning .. kinda needed it ;)

Originally I tried to type the poem in a "S" like a road but that never looked like I wanted.
And I'm happy to jump start your morning

[Cherrie Palmer]

The creation of buketseats single handily destroyed the romantic drive.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha ... well...it was an attempt anyway .. there is always the ..........back seat!! ;) but again not for my 1954 Hillman ... simply no room
:(

[CD Campbell]

Isn't the first kiss always the best? This is a having fun, reliving your twenties, just before life really kicked you reminiscing poem.. I love it.

[Cherrie Palmer]

that old dirt road
The long hot, dusty, barbed-wire fence lined, long dry grass growing, blue sky burning, windows wide open, engine screamin, music playin, pot holed dirt road to the ol' swimmin hole.
I'll take two!!

There seems to be a back order summer till June.

[Giulia King]

Aww this makes me miss summer, so damn much! This piece is short but full of sweetness

[Richard🖌]

Aw, Cherrie!
I thought you'd forgotten. ; )
You sure brought back to life some sweet memories, with all the enjoyment, arousals, and tender moments shared so long ago.
Your version makes all those moments sound so good, I wish it could have been You I shared them with.
"Scoot on over and 'set' with me" … could you have meant "sit", or might you have had in mind, "Scoot on over and 'pair' with me"? And, who doesn't love a romantic skinny-dip in a hot summer's twilight.
Ahhh, such scenery, imagery, emotion, and warming sentimentality of sensations that wrap one up in the sheer beauty and embrace of your poetic ambience … "hmmmm, let's go!"

Simply beautiful poeting, dear poetess!
Obviously, you've stolen-in and swept me away, Cherrie …
and, for it, I hug you happily! ⁓ Richard ; )))

[Cherrie Palmer]

There is nothing better than a life lived on/by a old dirt road. A world of both sweet and savory wrapped up in a lane leading to our memories.
I'm really happy this piece took you down that lane.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Ps I did mean sit :)

[Richard🖌]

Cherrie,
You're a woman after my own heart. ; )

[Einstein Noodle]

butting in ;} i like "set" ... its colloquial ... as in "set a spell" :)

[Fran Marie]

Sounds like a real fun time..a warm cozy adventure to spend with your significant other..

Nice Work Cherrie

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thanks Fran, new adventures are fun but reliving memories can be magical

[charlie]

There comes a time when a couple do need to reinvest in the courtship of one another.
This sounds like good, warm fun, Cherrie.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Charlie, I'm glad you enjoyed.

[KCthelastboyscout]

Almost reads like a song.nothing like the best times of life.i hope you were smiling while writing this

[Cherrie Palmer]

I did have fun with this one I had the opening line and a tune in my head for a couple of days. Once I started writing it just fell into place.

[KCthelastboyscout]

Jackson Browne or James Taylor maybe?...

[Cherrie Palmer]

Fogerty lol
