Red roses blossom
Poke-a-dotted dresses
Fluffy summer hats
Sweat pours
Air-conditioner swallows
Electricity
Pools with wet water
Balls bounce
Upon the asphalt
Beaches open
Sun beats down
Feet burn on the sand
Love blossoms
In the parks
In the afternoon
A walk through the swallows
A deep breath in the shade
A look of content
It is a beginning
A season to remember
A time for forgetting
Forgetting the winter
Forgetting the cold
And the heartbreaks
Forgetting what once was
And will be again
In all too short a time
