"Summer Days" by Laura Brown

All the plants

Have fully grown

And all the puddles

Are gone from sight.

The sun shines every day

Diminishing thoughts

Of long lost winter.

Suddenly the world slips,

In disguise,

From spring to summer.

I search for shade

Everywhere I look.

It cools, calms, and relaxes.

I listen for the sounds,

Chirping birds,

Whistles shrieking

At the nearby pool.

But I get nothing in return

Except the sounds

Of passing cars.

My mood changes

From happy to sad

Missing the summers

That actually meant

Having fun

And enjoying

The outdoors.
