You don't have to tell me
Here’s to a summer of cool, mouth-watering melons
languid afternoons with friends
Celebrations of sun and savvy sales
(Oh those shimmy shirts
those silken pink petti-slips)--
well-spent money for our handsome males.
To breezes soft, streets so sunny
And all of youth so sweetly mated,
in sidewalk cafes
drinking lattes
And two sugars, please--for what is fated.
Read the rest of the poem Show less
And here's to celebrations on summer nights--
A disco beat deep in the city
where they dance on checkerboard tiles
(It’s your move, honey)
The river fireworks-- whoosh! An explosion on the skyline--
where romance bursts into a thousand lights
Tonight an evening rain--umbrellas up,
we're wet and laughing
& in my garden,
frogs glisten.
Such be my recent runes
of all the what-have-yous
(you don't have to tell me)
of summer suns and summer moons
