Summer

Summer is mellow

dozing under Sun’s

relentless heat

pining for ice cream

any cold drink

or icy treat

Summer is for vacation

vacating the mundane

daily chores

For a respite

to go somewhere else

maybe distant shores

Summer is exuberant

bursting with a myriad of colors

a cornucopia of flowers

Exploding with firecrackers

in the night sky

Celebrating our Freedom

perhaps with a sigh
