Summer #FlashPoetry

Let's be honest, we have all been looking forward to the Summer! We are halfway through our second year of pandemic life, and we all crave the release that good weather and fresh air provide. Make every day count, but stay safe everyone!


I followed the same rules; I incorporated the 8 words provided for the theme within the piece.

Sun, sand, and heat!

Vacation has finally arrived!

The time of rain and frost is long gone,

bringing in the dog days ahead.

Every degree of hot weather is welcomed,

calling for crowds to gather on every beach along the coast.

Only the seaside can bring in a crisp breeze,

relieving the heatwave of the Summer.

We forgot how to appreciate the sunshine,

finding comfort in screens and devices.

No longer trapped in our homes by weather,

we look forward to escaping the indoors.

Flights are taken,

cars are fueled.

Break out the travel guides and sunscreen,

because here we come!

Hikes, trips, and adventure call my name.

Sweat left behind by the actions we take,

urging us to keep going through the sultry atmosphere.

Make every day count,

because before you know it,

the green leaves will turn brown.

The birds will hide in their nests,

and the summer heat will leave as quickly as it came.
