Summertime

Just a fun little piece about the joys of doing nothing.

Breeze softly sweeps

Hammock side to side 

Good book, new or old

Matters not at the time

Glass of wine

Velvet in my throat

Buzzing bumblebees

A lawn that's freshly soaked

Gracious and humble

She sweetly sells her goods

Dear lady summer

Whispers gently through the woods

Author's Note

Just trying to convey the pleasure of summertime, without a care in the world.

I love this poem. Makes me hungry for summer. It's similar to the writing of Robert Frost. A well written piece. The simplicity of the scene so inviting.

I could do with a day like this. With the seemingly endless rain we have been treated to this year. Thought you captured this beautifully

[Scott S]

Thank you so much.

I can envision this.... when I was a child in the summer on cape cod, we had a hammock and I would lie out their reading or just observing nature. This is beautiful!

[Scott S]

Thank you so much, Eileen. It was fun writing it.

[Scott S]

And I am glad that you are able to envision it.....that's an important piece in writing. Thanks again.

Most africans read books only at school.this poem reminds me of the white tourists i always see lieing on the beach in our town.they always have books with them and thats nice i think.

Oh, I so miss this feeling! For far too long now our summer here, up north, has been nothing but rainy days and bleak moods.

You have managed to share the simple joy of summer so sweetly it is hard not to relate.

Love the rhyme,
the book and wine.

You have described a summer day after my own heart!
Wonderful!

[Scott S]

Thanks so very much. I wanted to convey a simple summer day with the joy of just being in the moment and having nothing to do, but enjoy it.
I really appreciate your words and your review.
