That was summer

THAT WAS SUMMER…

Have you ever smelt summer?
Sure you have.
Remember the time we went to the night market looking at different foods
and smelling them.
You picked one of the thai foods,
It smelt hot and steamy.
Remember how the night markets smelt
as we smelt all the different foods.
That was summer.

Have you ever heard summer?
Sure you have.
Remember the time we went to the beach and we could hear people laughing, talking, swimming and running.
Hearing the birds chirping in the trees,
it was high tide
and the grass was hot
That was summer .


Have you ever touched summer?
Sure you have.
When you were so hot and  you
wanted to go for a swim at the beach,
you were scared because you thought there were sharks.
The sun was burning you
but you didn’t know what to do.
That was summer.


Have you ever heard summer?
Sure you have.
Remember that time
when the kids were crying,
they were noisy and loud.
That was summer.

Remember that time
when you were at the park,
the children were laughing and yelling.
That was summer.

Have you ever tasted summer?
sure you have.
Remember that time we  were eating bubble gum
and you showed your friends that you
could blow a bubble and it popped on your face.
Do you remember when we ate our yummy  BBQ dinner with our family
                   That was summer.

  1. Beautifully well written Linda, summer is an amazing time of year, I miss it so much as I read your poem. I don't like winter, it's all wet and cold. Do you have a favourite season?
