#Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 228, #Poet’sChoice – Summer Fun

Have fun in the summer
Spirits run with the wind
The earth breathes just like us
Everyone relaxes
Lie in the sun a plus

Have fun in the summer
Forget the past, move on
Writing a memoir aids
Time heals and dulls the pain
And of course, the scar fades

Have fun in the summer
More time with families
Camping and holidays
Swimming, roller blading
And lots of other ways

Have fun in the summer
Tortoise in the garden
Apples and grapes growing
Cycling to beer garden
Kids on slides and swing*
