Summertime Tune
Singing a summertime tune.
Loving the month of June.
Having some summertime fun.
With popsicles dripping,
flip-flops flipping,
vacation tripping,
and sunset seeking when day is done.
With playground slide slipping,
backyard pool dipping,
croquet mallet gripping,
and getting soaked with a water gun.
With a summer read (bodice-ripping),
lawn mower grass clipping,
lemonade sipping,
and a hot dog on a bun.
With jump rope skipping,
flower bouquet snipping,
puppies nipping,
and watching the horses run.
With golf ball chipping,
canoe tipping,
and clotheslined laundry whipping
out in the midday sun.
Singing a summertime tune.
Loving the month of June.
Having some summertime fun.
Oh Connie, I love this. Brings back so many good memories of summers as a kid. Great poem.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower and words:)
ReplyDeleteOh I love this Connie and the way you put those words together. I guess we're all singing a summertime tune and enjoying it. Another great poem as usual.
ReplyDeleteyou zinged it with this summertime tune. Happy June to you
ReplyDeleteI love the images you evoke with this poem, but I also love the nuts-and-bolts of the rhyme scheme you used. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteNice imagery... Reminds me of old favorites: "Summertime and the livin' easy..." from Porgy and Bess or "Hot town, summer in the city..." who I think was the Loving Spoonful.
ReplyDeleteWhile reading this poem, Connie, I was thinking of a Beach Boys melody too and that's meant as a sincere compliment. Thanks for your comment on our recent family wedding and I am now catching up on blog reading.
ReplyDeletethis is so good and so relatable. I really love it Connie! Happy June for sure.
ReplyDeleteHmm, reminds me of summer when I was younger. I need to have more fun.
ReplyDeleteSuch a happy and sweet poem! Just love it!
ReplyDeleteSummertime --and the Livin' is EASY!!!!!!! But --it's doggone hot here on the Cumberland Plateau...
ReplyDeleteI'm having a big family gathering here on July 4th this year --and am thinking about an "American" menu (hot dogs, apple pie, watermelon, etc.)..... Love your poems...
Hugs,
Betsy
An appropriately fun-filled poem for June. I love this, and smiled - of course - at "bodice ripping." Nicely done, Connie. Keep savoring all the good stuff.
