summertime

i want your summer wrapped up in a poem. Talk about swimming or cheesecakes or camping or that cute sun dress you wear that your boyfriend just can't get enough of. i want to hear your perfect summer. weather it's just a day or the entire season. i want to hear everything you think when you hear the word summer.

i would prefer it if you didn't enter a prewritten poem but there have been a couple of contests where i've been like. awe man i have the perfect poem for that but i can't enter it. so i'm allowing prewrites but only if it's an emergency
