A most enjoyable read Kathy, it has an almost dreamy quality to it, sort of wafts the reader along" And all is well with the world"indeed.

Oh how this thrills me! It's perfect! I experienced much of this with you. I was a few years older, but I enjoyed all these things. Our little house so full of people, we had to get outside to grab a good breath! Thats what made summer so great, the expanse of outside. We roamed the neighborhood without a care or fear in the world. You always managed to get a little more dirt on you than I did. You had that eternal dirt necklace around your neck. And you just didn't care! You were a sweatty little thing. I had to put powder under my neck because I couldn't stand to be sticky. So I guess between the two of us you managed to have more fun because you never worried about the sweat or the dirt or if your outfit matched. You had two round fat cheeks, a turned up nose, two large deep-set laughing brown eyes, dimples and poochy lips. Your hair was white-blonde in the summer and cut in a little bob. You tanned quickly, making the hair look whiter. (Oh yeah, it was always tangled.)You looked a lot like a quepie doll.
I can see from an adult perspective now what a cutie you were. And what a character! You were made for summer.

Hot summer days drowned in lemonade
Dipped in a summer's eve
Blouses without sleeves
Sleep comes with soft ease
In
Hammocks under trees
And all is well with the world

the changing of seasons does the same for me, sends me off to those moments of my life when time was free and summer break spent with friends just enjoying being alive and having fun was the way... that's exactly what your poem makes me feel (aside the huge grin on my face :) ) ... the words are alive and dancing that freedom and beauty of childhood, so descriptive felt like a little movie clip for me... very beautiful :) *hugs* xx

This is a beautiful nostalgic poem, conjuring up those wonderful hot summer days from long ago - where summers lasted forever - a bookmark for me because of the sheer joyous feel that this exudes to the reader
