So Free

Author Note: This poem shows exactly what summer makes me feel like and I can't wait for it to come!

Jumping higher
and higher
the sun bright
the air warm
the grass green
the sky blue
so beautiful

The cool black mat
beneath our feet
springing us up
towards the trees
towards the sky
so mesmerizing

The smell
of hot dogs
and hamburgers
floating from the garage
so comforting and familar
the first signs of summer
so refreshing

Summer
a time for anything
where anything seem possible
the long nights
early mornings
running
screaming
laughing
so memorable

We laugh and share stories
as we sit under the stars at night
small pinpoints in the sky
we want to remember this
these times where there are
no worries
no school
so free

  1. Morgan, I absolutely love this poem. I love how you refer to a trampoline using different phrases but never actually say that you are on a trampoline. This poem definitley made me want summer even more, but it's almost 4th quarter! I can't wait for warm weather.
