A Summer's Day
Sticky ice cream
drools down the knuckles
of a freckle-faced boy,
sun-kissed
with the beginnings
of treasured memories.
A salty, summer breeze,
thick with children's laughter,
captures their boisterous joy,
as thunderous waves
topple towards
the sugar-white shore,
clamoring for their feet.
Seagulls chatter in response,
drifting carefree
against the mirrored,
ice-blue sky.
