Summer, Last Forever

The smell of flowers is dwelling in the air.

The clouds are gone, and there’s sunshine at flare.

Remove your coats, take out your shades,

Because summer’s beginning, as winter slowly fades.

 

The laughter, the smiles, the never-ending grins,

And all because this blissful season begins.

From the lazy days, and sunset strolls ,

To the drunk drivers’ cars and speed patrols.

 

The colors drinks are passed around,

While teenagers dance to the music and sound.

When twilight swoons, the breeze is cool,

And by this time no one remembers school.

 

The golden days and the silver night;

Oh summer, last forever. 

Author's Note

This is an old poem of mine that I found on a scrap piece of paper in a drawer. One of the first poems I have written, when I was 15 years old. Its not the best of my work, nevertheless hope you enjoy the read.

I wish Summer could last forever also. I like your description of the Summer days and knowing freedom from school. No weakness in the amazing poem for the days of Summer.

Vivid imagery in this one. Impressive that you kept it all these years. You've captured the innocence and adventure of the teenage years. I liked it. Lydi**
