Summer

Summer, I love that word
And all the memories it brings to mind
The lovely days not yet blurred
By time

Summer is a break from everything
No school till fall
And many sunny days,
I love it all

Summer, so golden and sweet
It means so much to me
And at the end I feel complete
I feel so fancy free

Ha! This is a good one! I like the unique lenths of the lines. For some weird reason, I can only rhyme when in meter, but the rhythem these lines have are closer to the way a person talks. It feels human. Plus, I LOVE the subject of summer and memories. Rockin' job, Dawnie!

I liked the words you used to describe summer, "golden and sweet." And the ryming too. My favorite was, "lovely days not yet blurred by time." It is a perfect description of summer. Keep writing more!
