Summer Poems by Children

Feel the summer heat with a few children's summer poems. The first summer poem one of my twins wrote and he was published in the school district's book of Wide Anthology of Wonderful Work. He is reading the book as we speak written by the children in kindergarten through sixth grade.

Summer

Summer smells like fresh fruit on a tree.
Summer looks like everyone at the beach.
Summer feels like a warm breeze.
Summer tastes like freshly grown fruit.
Summer sounds like birds singing.

Summer poetry written by me as a child.

Another summer poem by me as a child at 12-years-old:

Daze of Summer

Sweat on a glass of cool lemonade
Lazy beach days
Dancing in the rain
and stomping in puddles.

Campfires
Roasted marshmallows
Flash light tag
& creepy June bugs.

Paddeling down a stream
peacefully trout fishing
Eating ice cream
Ending the day with sweet
summer dreams.

Children's poetry and summer poetry is innocent and let's us all reflect on simple every day pleasures.
