love the sweaty, sticky, hot
Summer’s in the city!
the smell of the concrete streets after a hard rain storm
walking in the mist and splashing in the puddles
catching a warm breeze on my face
the smells of flowers and trees
bumble bees and butterflies
the sounds of the ocean at the beach
hot sand on my toes
icy cold drinks
dripping with sweat
Italian icy’s
icecream cones
flip flops
pretty strapless dresses
sexy toes painted red
glossy lips
sitting at a table outside
watching the city lights glitter
laying on a park bench watching people go by
swinging on a swing like a kid
running through a sprinkler
watching the long, orange and red Summer sunsets.
sweet coconut buttery soft skin
long drives
singing with the windows down
the wind carrying
the blues away…
splashing my toes in a pool
the smells of coals
the cracks of a fire
oh those warm Summer nights
sparkling and shimmering days…
I love you!
One of my favorite things about taking my walks in the early morning, it how clean everything smells in the summertime. It’s like I can’t fill my lungs up enough.
I also love the summer! It really is the best season!
You got all the best parts of summer in the city in this post! Love it.
I love this, and I love all of those things as well! Here in NC it gets pretty dang hot and awfully humid in the summer time. It’s pretty bad most days, but I just can’t complain. I LOVE it! I love the water, the sand, the pool, the summer thunderstorms, longer daylight hours, the beach…I just love everything about summer, including the icky, sticky, humid, heat
Beautiful.
There is absolutely nothing like Summer in the city.
Oh me too!! All of it and more! I just adore summer… and you!!
Sampling today. I love the flow of this poem and the way you weave in and out of the city so effortlessly with all that is the best of summer.
I love all these things about summer as well–but I’d have to say Fall is probably my most favorite season of all!
You’ve captured it beautifully. It just occurred to me that I wonder what such a poem written by a senior citizen would be written. Ah….youth!
Thanks for linking up!
