the hazy glow of summertime has nearly reached its end

though the sweet taste of ice cream is still on our lips

the fairy wings of summer are put away

memories full of music and laughter echo but fade

we can still remember the idle hours of yesterday

as we return to the steady rhythm of today

we reached for the stars and gazed at the sun

(carefully)

we ran wild, we danced without a care.

howled at the moon and posed with a bear.

we languished idly when the moment felt right

as it often did.

but now we’ve memed all the moments

we’ve plunged all the depths

we’ve plenty of chlorine to rinse from our tresses

the beach bags are empty

the sunscreen’s run out.

we know what this means:

school’s in, summer’s out.

I’m linking up with Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop. I chose her first prompt this week: Your summer recap in a poem and pictures. Head to her blog for more fun!
