Let's start our summer right

We have this new found freedom

So let's go to the corner store, buy snacks and eat 'em,

We'll start at midnight doing anything we like

Sitting by the lake, later to find mosquito bites,

We listen to tunes as we sit under the moon

And we're never alone because you have me and I have you,

Let's ride the streets being young and reckless

Parking in the grass, and jumping out screaming like there's no one on Earth but us,

And we don't care about a damn thing

We're young and living the teenage dream,

And the jell-O shots got us there

Our free spirits are floating in the air,

We sit and listen to music in the car

Calling random people at night as it turns into tomorrow

And I haven't felt this way in a long time;

Just when I felt like the kid in me was dying..

My great friends came around

And you guys kept me alive without even trying.

Since I've joined WritersCafe, I've noticed that not many people write about anything happy (myself included). It's nice to see a happy summertime piece. You thrust the reader into this idyllic world, something reminiscent of the past which makes us hopeful for the future. Summer is an interesting time of the year, and you certainly portray that well (as well as the thrills of being youthful). Excellent job!

Wonderful, joyful summertime poem. I love all the reference to fun things done during the summer.. almost the same as when I was a teenager, except we used our land lines to call random people.. and we watched MTV and danced in our living rooms.. lol. Such a child of the 80s. You did a wonderful job with this. So glad William sent me a read request.

This poem expresses much emotion is such simple words. The lines are easily noticeable and organized. Nicely done. It is truly an interesting poem but I like how you were able to explain it so easily. I've got to admit, nice ideas and topics expressed. Keep writing! :D
