Summery

---

My string of summer haikus

---

Summer obsession,

Tall glasses of ice tea

And lemon wedges

---

Hot sunshine, damp nights

Chlorine flavored pool water

The high diving boards

---

Tan lines and sun burns

Aloe lotion and ice cream

Short shorts and small tops

---

Popsicle kisses

Orange stained lips, cherry chap-stick

Sparklers and fireflies

---

Hot asphalt, bare feet

Postcards and gross camp food

Long car rides and talks

---

Summer love and hurt

Little swim suits and wet towels

Beach bangs and bleached hair
