Summer Fun is Done

Long lazy days

Some sunny

Some laced with warm raindrops

Kissing the earth.

Some woven with sounds of explosive thunder

Interspersed with the sharp lines of lightning

Cutting through space.

Hot days             

Swimming…splashing

Sliding…diving in the pool.

Summer fun

Transforms family…friends

And a sense of camaraderie

Into unforgettable memories.

The smell of charcoal  
Barbecue ribs on the grill
Along with chicken...hot dogs...
Hamburgers...

Fish frying...

Drifts into the atmosphere

Tantalizing

Teasing the palates

Of patient people gathered together...

Chatting

Socializing

Drinking

Eating

Dancing the night away to the cha-cha slide

Wobbling through time

Twirling to sounds of the meringue…

Stepping high to reggae rhythms.

Syncopated notes glide through the cosmos

Singing of summer fun.

Trains…planes…cars to paradise

Beckon souls seeking vacation recreation.

Glittering lights

Sparkling green...red...blue

Yellow…mellow…

Welcome visitors to palaces of pleasure.

Spinning rides

Arcades for days

Fireworks stunning in the sky

Proclaim euphoria.

Music rocks generating energy

Electrifying the stadium

Defying dimension as graceful creatures

Twist and turn in the night driving 
Patrons wild in their delight with summer fun

Beaches

White sands

Turquoise blue oceans

Extend as far as the eye can see

Signaling a sense of the infinite…

Magnifying wisdom

Inspiring hearts to new heights

Of thankfulness…and then

The first Monday in September

A holiday dedicated to workers
A holiday dedicated to labor
A holiday dedicated to a collective work ethic

Heralds the unofficial close of another summer season.

Summer fun is done!
