Thanks for the sand, shells, salt, and pictures
Stirring so many memories.
It's cloudy
Cooling, clearly
The chance for beach
Days, evening walks,
Is diminishing rapidly
Yet, I touch Maine's
Sandy coastline filled with
Shells, rocks, salt, that old
Familiar feeling bringing memories
While reading, on my porch.
Cape Cod, where summer slows
Certainly, classes begin,
Surely, back to school rush,
Frenzy unfurls while some
Waves are still lapping at
Some windows, time
Moves faster
Unless it's
Birthday
Eve
And you can hold
Summer in your
Hand one
More day.

Anita,
I’m going my best to hold onto summer, even though I love fall. The problem with fall is winter follows it. We have cooler weather here, too, including overcast skies and rain last night. I love your photos and will cling to them in my memory when I need a reminder summer will come again.
With the unofficial end of summer (Labor Day) next week I am all for grabbing on and holding onto summer any way I can. The flowers are still in full bloom. The sky is blue. The days are warm. Summer is not gone yet. arjeha
In South Louisiana, we have a hard time letting go of summer. It lasts forever! I like the wistfulness of your poem.
Oooh, as for me, I'm ready for summer to pack its bags and get on a plane and leave. It was in the 70s this morning as I stepped outside, and nothing could have been more welcome. I loved the fresh air, and Lord knows I need more of it. Perfect slice today, Anita. The solstice can't get here quickly enough.
Happy birthday! Hang on to summer for at least one more day or week or month. The autumn equinox is still more than three weeks away.
