Jessie's Summer Poem

Local poet, Jessie, writes:

Summer thoughts

"Summer" is a dreamy word
A happy word. A warm word,
An exciting word.
A word which conjures up delight.

Delight at the thought of a holiday -
The thought of "no school" for a few weeks.
A thought of long rides into the country.
A walk, early morning,
With only bird song for company!

A summer "get together" with friends and neighbours.
Perhaps a family BBQ.
Romantic walks in the cool morning air,
With a loved one, hand in hand.

Summer is when winter attire is stowed away,
And light, airy clothes, donned.
Sandals and bare feet- what a treat!

Whatever summer has in store
And whatever it holds for us,
We will enjoy ourselves,
Relax on our hols or at home,
In the garden- happy long days.

Summer beckons a happy time for all-
Hopefully.
