Most of the words in this poem are not mine. The words come from random people. Here in Denver, Colorado by the art museum, one can fill out a tag saying what summer is to them. One side of the tag says "summer is" and on the other side is where one writes whatever. Then one can hang their tag on one of the ropes or tag tree for display. It's a neat display and interesting to read. A lot of them are pretty much the same sayings but some were different and unique. I got inspired to take some of those sayings and put them in a poem. A few lines towards the end are my own but for the rest I can't take credit for since they belong to the people that gave their words. One section of the poem is all from one person that put a lot on one tag. I also posted a few of photos of what the displays look like and the tags. Enjoy :)
Summer Is...
The kiss of a warm breeze, a hug from the gardens
Long lazy days
Sleeping in
Bare feet
Time with friends and family
Summer Is...
Bucket list
Friends
Smiling
Camp
Relaxation
Ice tea
People trying new things
Fun
Cold drinks
Porch swings
Good books
Summer Is...
Like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're going to get
The beach
Late sunsets
Being sweaty and eating cold watermelon
A cold drink on the porch
Summer Is...
Most memorable when campfire conversation heats the creative in everyone
Porch dinners with good friends
BBQ's
Fireworks
Baseball games
Summer Is...
Being in this amazing space, on vacation with my daughter
The warm sun
Cooling off with water fun
Summer movies
A reason to smile
This is what summer means to us, what does it mean to you?
