Summer Gone by

Debbie Budnick on Sep 7, 2009

For some reason this year summer went by fast. It didn’t even seem like it was here since it hardly got hot.

baby blue
a white fluffiness
with splatters of gray

sun twinkles
blurring my sight

smells of BBQ

fresh cut grass
tickles my nose

bouts of sneezing
soon to come
with gooey liquids flying

cottony tissue
against my nose
blowing things out
which don’t belong there

cough, sneeze
hiccup

nice breeze
caresses my face
as I fall asleep
in a lawn chair
with a fly tickling my ear

sweet daydreams
in the final days
of a summer gone by

its nice to sit out in the sun, then its gone replaced with clouds and a slight chill in the air, nice poem without the gooey bit.

Hi there!
