some summery summaries…
some summery summaries…
a cloudburst of wing-surges flurried around a fiery door lamp late at night…
in a nocturnal revival wake-up call for wayward moths that saw the light!…
a puddle of raindrops drifted downhill then hid in a playground’s crevice…
hoping the sky didn’t dry it up so it could stay and watch kids play tennis!…
a drive-in theater fueled the cool with new full-feature movie previews…
it paid extra for upcoming cold winter films to lower the heat index value!…
a swimming hole down in the boondocks got called out for no good reason…
so teens planted tall bushes around it last fall to secretly swim this season!…
kids started driving and soon a tire swing slid off of its rope of loneliness…
rolling into a garage for a wheel rim and a future carload of hopefulness!…
a home plate mumbled as a fastball flew past just a hair above its head…
“i wish i could wear a helmet too or be a cy young trophy’s plate instead!”…
a pair of sneakers led a covert mission to deliver a surprise party gift…
but the loafers on their feet idled too long and arrived after everyone left!…
endless tons of busy creek water scouted downstream for a merge ahead…
they’d been on the go for miles now and were hoping to find a riverbed!…
some tall grass wanted to wear a ponytail and hated if a mower came near…
its wish granted when a horse’s tail landed on it just before it disappeared!…
a postcard reclining in a tourist trap shop was scared stiff of flying air mail…
so it slid inside a harbor map and stowed away on a party boat’s cozy sail!…
a porch swing invited some night owls to drop by for a moonlight ride…
feathers flew as a fox hopped up and rocked those hoots into overdrive!…
a sandbox sat giggling as toys and shovels kept tickling its grainy innards…
to dig roads for autos attending all sand races that run thru’ dusty fingers!…
a merry-go-round lost its balance as a sliding board feared its own height…
and when a swing set suddenly got seasick it told the kids to go fly a kite!…
a hot dog went along to find some shade as a cold front behind it formed…
’twas down a mouth that a hot dog found the closest port before a storm!…
the kids kept hoping for a tree house but the yard only held a few saplings…
so they built a crude open greenhouse for new seedlings happily adapting!…
a red strawberry under its leafy cap spied a few others too green to choose…
“don’t fret if you get left behind as there’s still a chance your seeds’ll root!”…
three buddies just left an open-air theater after watching a brand new play…
but they tried to tie it into older scripts and so it became a guessing game!…
“please go pick those berries by hand or who knows how they’ll end up?!”…
“but i just built a quicker berry-picker so why isn’t that good enough!?”…
a bottom line got asked if a usual crowd was still beating around the bush…
“yes indeed and they’re into more branches so i’ve yet to even feel a push!”…
their ears spent a winter all cooped up in a mode of hanging on every word…
summer hoped to free up minds to realize the value of things left unheard!…
kids tried to play follow-the-leader but they only knew hide-and-go-seek…
so they created a new game called find-where-their-shadows-will-meet!…
after a playground’s carnival the kids said how well they did as participants…
“i nailed a headstand!… i nailed a handstand!… i nailed a lemonade stand!”…
tree limbs sway in a wind’s seesaw rhythm as birds feel it too and zoom in…
they harmonize in barbershop style as drumbeat warble tones also tune in!…
a new think-and-swim pool for noggins delighted in its depth for mindsets…
from deep dives into one’s own head to splashing around in a shallow end!…
summer night’s breath lulls a forest into a mesmerizing aura of tranquility…
its stillness thrives in being fully alive as trees hiddenly open up so vividly!…
their annual picnic brought back its liberating race for opening-up-a-mind…
but due to self-inflicted conditional obstacles no one crossed a finish line!…
kids try to block waves on a late summer’s day as foam rises upon a shore…
hoping to keep a sand castle dry ’til they feel a tide they didn’t see before!…
a midday moon made a bet with the sun that it’d soon shine even brighter!…
in on it too a few clouds move around as heat’s loose change feels lighter!…
imagination painted a beat-the-heat scene in brushstrokes of a suggestion…
‘a dog day’s tail is a hand fan wagging to’n’fro in a cool-headed direction!’…
while busy wet-wading a few guys saw their loose creels of fish float away…
so they cast from a bank as pails of water soon held plentiful fins that day!…
a night opens its eyelids wide enough for a view of the stars and the moon…
it soon sees that its own darkness can’t keep the light from shining thru’!…
fireflies sprinkle a fast dazzling blaze as they flash their belly-side lanterns…
for a beacon burst in all lengths and shapes creating spellbinding patterns!…
feet plunge their toes into rain puddles splashing up fun to soak the knees…
happy feeling cool water rinse away a day’s heat thru’ spontaneous sprees!…
a mountain of clouds delights a hot evening with its puffy snow-like slopes…
it drifts around for a scorched open sky that might need a floating lifeboat!…
kids at a summer camp asked a cabin advisor if they could make the rules…
“only if your do’s and don’ts won’t get me fired before the start of school!”…
at a port all the crew on deck savored a unique style of tunes sailing the air…
like a melodic kaleidoscope thru’ neat lyrics and notes for any ears to hear!…
a water pot sat by a night-blooming garden bed ready to sprinkle a shower…
out poured its darkest drops ever seen from wetted leaves of a sunflower!…
a kid dared friends not to use any hands and carry their ball across a creek…
so a walkway span soon became a ball’s footbridge by playing flying feet!…
under the sun as a backstroke swims laps over the eye lashes in any splash…
light can feature many angles of sight among its vaster flashes of contrast!…
swing seats asked a lively wind for a kickstart in a motionless predicament…
hoping a ghostly-like swaying might just lift kids away from a park bench!…
an inner breeze sails like wings on a wave gliding smoothly inside the soul…
a stream of vibes roaming thru’ eternity’s ocean while on a summer stroll!…
and…
warm wishes’ll bloom all summer long for music singing thru’ the parks!…
as rings of truth and roots of love complete the soul and keep the heart!…
…
(s’more to tuck in)… 🙂

(a know-it-all declared… “i’ve laughed more while reading war and peace!”…
a know-it-less asked… “so where did you read this all needs to be funny?”)…
