"Random Impressions Of Summer: A Portrait Of Innocence"

Marigolds ripening in the sun.
Baseball cards slapping bike spokes.
Blackened marshmallows dripping on embers.

Oil rainbows dance on the drive.
Ice cream sealing fingers closed.
Decapitated grass bleeding on the lawn.

Bagworm buckets, a penny a carcass.
Echoes of a ball demolished by a bat.
Lightning bugs frantic in cupped palms.

Fan blades drone rearranging heat.
Blackberry fingers stuffing my face.
Night raiders swoop to imbibe from the pool.

Dandelion chains adorn my hair.

HTSteele

HTSteele's recounting of her childhood continues with this moving and inspirational poem.
