By Joyce Jacobo
[Author’s Note: Summer is almost here. What are your favorite things about the season?]
I can see them already…
…those scenes that flow
throughout the course
of an entire season…
Chilly ocean waves swish as they chase
after wiggly toes
across vast beaches
while seagulls cry out
in shrill squawks
from high
overhead
The distinctive crackles made
by a grill
sometime in the evening
as warmed fragrances
waft through the atmosphere
Distant explosions
of fireworks in bloom
among the starry heavens
Even the laughter of children
at greater liberty to roam about
and enjoy all the privileges
that youth brings
…and all those tender moments
spent between couples
from newlyweds
to silver-haired sweethearts
Cool relief
savored amid hot afternoons—
and the heated delights
known during chilly nights
A season…
to create fond memories
alongside a few
melancholy ones
…All of them precious
and valuable memories
to slip into the photo albums
of our lives
