Hot Summer's Day

Sun shining under the scorching sun,

the waves lie down when the sun is beaming down,

we think of someone on their last walk,

the beach as bright as the sun,

dogs running around having fun,

watching surfers while we sit and rest.

On a hot summer's day,

we jump in the water,

feeling refreshed like I’m eating an icy pole,

little grains sticking to me,

hot sunscreen on my face.

As I sunbake,

hearing the surf roaring,

kids screaming with excitement.

I taste a cold salad sandwich,

drinking icy cold water,

wanting to fall asleep,

smelling the aroma of a BBQ,

realizing the beach is mine.

Summer.
