Summer Things

By Rick Williams


Lying outside in the summer sun
listening to happy children run

Wispy dresses that light shines through
Sitting on porch steps with a microbrew

The lazy drone of a distant plane
The dusty smell of a sudden rain

The scent of grasses, yellowed and dry
swimming in lakes and rivers nearby

Colorful flowers alive with bees
The whisper of blowing leaves in trees

These are just a few of many
things of summer I love plenty.
