A Summer Afternoon

The golden sun rises and

Colorful beach towels lie across the sand,

Under a shady umbrella is a sandcastle so grand.

The raspberry Popsicle is slowly melting into her hand.

Scattered across the endless mountains are empty, grey caves,

Shimmering in the sun are turquoise colored waves,

A day at the beach is what everyone craves.

Sunglasses glimmering under the sun,

The beach is a bucket filled with fun.

The day has just begun, but soon it will be done.

Today, the infinite sky is painted a soft shade of blue

A pair of beautiful, yellow birds flies together in a cluster of two.

From my window is where I could see this fantastic view.

The dark blue sky is filled with a luminous moon

All of this will occur again very soon

On a summer afternoon.
