Summer Joys
5 Tankas
hair blowing in summer breeze
radio turned up
singing to the top ten tunes
fun joyride to get ice cream
body oiled and tan
sunning by the swimming pool
sun glasses look cool
stealing hearts this sizz’ling day
breaking hearts this simm’ring night
clothes drape grey boulders
sun beats down on brisk blue lake
summer skinny dip
the joy of the naked plunge
hot fun in the summer time
mugs of cold gold beer
baby backs on the bar-b
backyard summer feast
red potatoes with grilled corn
it all smells so delicious
soft sand warms bare toes
love as fresh as ocean breeze
summer at seaside
kisses hot as sizz’ling sun
send us over the rainbow

A poem of fult tilt summer delights! I don’t know which image I love the best as they are all of them delightful and redolent of summer.
I was doing some memory time traveling Toni. It was a fun write.
Great collection, RK; I was living the summer with you. My only glitch: I can’t stand today’s Top 10, so I had to go back about half a century…
Well done!
Thank you sir. I am with you there Ron! The convertible I was riding in was listening to late 60’s early 70’s rock on an underground FM stereo station. I just liked the alliteration of the “t-t-t”. 🙂
Summer is so delicious, and though I never spent much of my time in such wonderful delight it’s something full of joy.
Itwas a trip back in time for me Bjorn, back to thr dats when Summer was like separate reality. Now summer is still nice, but I prefer Autumn over all the seasons, which includes my wife Kathy’s and grandson Alex’s birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Winter Solstice. and ends with and includes for me — the celebration of Christmas!
Five brimming cold steins for hot hot afternoons. Thanks for the hallowed memories.
You are welcome Brendan. Thanks for topping a few with me! 🙂

Hot fun in thr summertime Susie. “Boop-boop-ba-boop-boop when we want to…,” 🙂
All brought back memories… sigh!
Oh the bliss of summer for the young Margaret!
