Summer
It smells like summer
Of the suntan lotion smeared on bodies
White glimpses visible
The oily sheen left behind
The sun smiling down
Warming my back
The soft breeze
Welcomed
Blowing in gentle curls across my face
The puffy clouds filling the sky
A sky so blue you could swim in it
Drifting, rolling, tumbling
In a white bliss so clean
The grass prickling your back
Itchy but uncaring
Enjoying the moment
Barbecue filling the air
Burned and charred
Hamburger grease coats your
Fingertips, sticky corn
Kernels glued to your face
Lemonade souring your mouth
Refreshing in an ice cold glass
As you sit in the sun
Your best friend beside you
Shorts, flip flops
Waiting for the tank tops
Unable to concentrate, school
is boring
The window is captivating
Enticing you
Revealing the beautiful day
Longing for
Sunshine
Needing to go out and
Feel
The air upon your skin
The grass between your toes
The heat on your face
It smells like summer.
