Bright sunny days
gleaming sunshine
on my face,
invigorating,
rejuvenating,
joy of summer
a season,so awaited
for all it brings,
folks elated
summer foods and fruits
in abundance,
cherries,berries and plums
Ah plums,
that’s what I need
to revel in,
a dessert indeed
a cake
a delight,
with juicy plums,
all in sight,
a bite is all you need,
to make you crave
this indulgent treat,
on a summer day so fine
in all its beauty,
so divine.
