Lazy sunny day

sunbathing by the river

drinking lemonade.

* 

paddle boats sculling

kids wading in the river

splashing, gurgling.

* 

bullfrogs, motor boats

transistor radios

echoes of laughter.

* 

scorching summer night

sitting on the balcony

hear the crickets sing.

* 

sitting on the balcony

untying her kimono

gentle breeze caress

*

summers may promise

moments of delight and bliss,

desires quenched.
