summer looks like wet beach towels, hung to dry
sand covered feet, salty sweet air, water slides
blisters from long walks at the amusement park
sticky faces from too much birthday cake
there’s no such thing as too much birthday cake
exploring new places and visiting old favorites
posing with stone statues that know us well
curling up with a good book, pitching an old tent
bright blooms and loud booms that bring
an explosion of color
long days on the road, lazy mornings in bed
big accomplishments, small victories
bonfires and golden brown marshmallows
family game night and movie marathons
life in excess is the motto of summer
