THE TASTE OF SUMMER


Summer,
The season that is perfectly balanced,
Between spring and autumn,
A salvation from the cold and misery,
Like spring,
But better, longer, and infinitely more wonderful.
Summer isn't just one feeling,
It's several different sensations,
The bright sun rays that pour from the sun,
Hanging in the magnificent, blue canopy,
That stretches above us for ever,
The warm sunshine that kisses my cheeks,
The long, orange grass and sweet wild flowers,
That brush around my knees,
In the gentle, smooth breeze,
Casting pollen into the air.

The sharp crunch of the freshly-picked apple,
The luscious taste swirling in my mouth.
The scent of the soft, mellow banana,
And the sticky peach juices,
That dribble down my chin.
It's the long, lay evenings,
That catch the last few rays of sun,
The perfect pinpricks of stars
In the clear night sky.
Each little thing joined together,
Together creates the taste of summer.


(Emma Dimitrova, my 11 year old daughter, 28/4/20)
