Summer Nights:
Out on the balcony
Summer Night.
Slowly slipping
Into my mind.
Everything's calm,
Everything's right.
Trees shrouded
In the darkness
Of a starry sky-
Nature's backdrop
to the night life.
Deeply thinking
But not at all
Close my eyes
As I rise and fall
Music running through my veins
Carrying my feet to places far away.
Feeling alive,
This is great.
Loving life,
I can do anything.

Poetry: Summer
JUNE DREAMS
Outside the window the hemlock pine's
Branches are waving gently in a heat undulating
Breeze that is early summer.
by Judy Furniss
Scorching hot summer in fallow land
Dust devil stirring dry loose sand
No sign of rain for a month or more
Cracking clay
Summer
It seemed like summer would never end
playing beneath the willow tree.
We'd dance among dandelions and
chase butterflies
by E Kuzmenko
Jean shorts and flip-flops,
Sunglasses and sunscreen
Tank tops and swimsuits
Painted nails and bleached hair.
Driving around
by Robert Conn
The sounds of bathers in the ocean
Towels, chairs and suntan lotion
Expensive beach-side shopping strips
Sun-bleached hair
