What is Summer
The hot pavement of the street outside the house
Dancing across the road on tiptoes to stay in the shade
The mid day July sun reflects off the water of the pool
Reflecting what had been and what was now
Freckles show up darker on your cheeks
The warm nights that end too quickly
The hot days that smell like grass dried out by the sun
The sun’s rays peeking through the window shades on clear mornings
Flowers bloom
Rainy days that clear the sky of clouds
The color blue is happy
Darker skin and lighter hair
Old movies and not knowing what day it is
Big sunglasses and pretending not to care
There's nothing we have to do
Sinking under the water
Having wet eyelashes and red cheeks
Sunny days are so happy
What is summer
Never complain about the things you choose to do
Wrinkled skin could never make me hate the sun
Maybe I’m too young

This poem was written for a English class project, and was inspired by my counting down the school days until my favorite season of the year, summer.
