Summers are made of these - butterflies frolicking in the sun zucchini growing on the ground barefoot children playing in the yard swooping on brambles like hungry birds grabbing berries with eager hands popsicles dripping on sweaty chin children dancing under the summer rain
Written for DVERSE POETS’ Quadrille prompt: Bramble
Lovely! The kids “like hungry birds” picking the berries are my favorite image in the poem.
🙂 Thanks, Jenna.
They are as insatiable as birds, too.
Takes me back to my childhood, Imelda!
Thanks, Sandy. 🙂 and Cheers to more happy days as we go along.
Yes!
That imagery is powerful.
Thank you. 🙂
Hi. To tell you the truth, summer agrees with me less and less, the older I get. Too much heat! Nevertheless, I like your poem. Take care, Imelda. Neil Scheinin
I hear you. I almost always hide in a cool room during the hottest part of the summer days which is quite ironic considering that I grew up in a place with weather that is hotter and steamier than our Northeast summers.
Thanks so much, Neil, for dropping by and leaving some kind words. Take care and stay safe as well.
Capturing the moment superbly. . .
Thank you. 🙂
Beautiful photos and words, Imelda.
Thank you, Timothy. 🙂
I love all these snippets of summer- delightful!
Thank you, Linda. 🙂
Beautiful pictures and a poem that took me back in time and put a smile into my heart and face. Thank you Imelda!
Ah, I am so glad this post gladdened you. 🙂 And my big thanks to you for dropping by and leaving kind words. 🙂
This reminds me of many of my happy summer days!
They must have been fun days. 🙂 Thank you for dropping by.
Indeed, Lovely poem. it has been more years than I can count since berries went from bush to mouth in one swoop.
Thank you, Bill. It is still a fun thing to do, our many Summers notwithstanding. 😆
🙂
Hehe, popsicles dripping on sweaty chins. That reminds me of my childhood summers. Good times. Hope you are enjoying summer, Imelda. Stay safe 🙂
I am indeed enjoying the ‘lazier’ days when there’s no schooling to do. I can do more fun stuff. And you? I hope you are doing well. Stay safe and take care.
I also am enjoying slower days working from home. So much more time doing other things. I hope you enjoy your lazier days as much as you can 🙂
