| I may as well choose the obvious subject then... and apologies to Eunice in NZ. The subject is Summer Holidays.
Any poem about Summer Holidays, perhaps you remember one, or are about to go, are the kids excited, bored, being a pain on a long car journey ?
Good Luck
Steve.

| We're all going on our summer holiday
Tempers and tantrums for a week or two
Rain and sunburn on alternate days
A fortnight I have to spend with you
We're all going on our summer holiday
Sitting on packed beaches as if in a zoo
How I envy those people going the other way
Let's turn round now, let us, do |

Summer colours
A red hot sunny day
Children happily at play.
Golden beaches, blue seas
Salty air with cool breeze.
Soothing songbirds, azure skies
Watching colourful butterflies.
Barefoot walking, holding hands
Digging toes in sun warmed sand.
Finally as day is done,
They sit and watch
the setting sun

| Holidays
Rush and scramble it's packing blues
"Don't forget books, and socks and shoes."
Everything placed just so in the case
For we're off, we're offf to the holiday place.
The sky is blue and the sea even bluer
Life is easy, exciting and enjoyment is truer
Work is left right behind and we're just having fun
Enjoying the swimming and walking and sun
No need to cook or to think about meals
For it's all provided with ease and no squeals
No bills through the post or difficult relations
Just focusing on now and train times at the stations
But wait now is it really the end so soon?
Do we have to go this afternoon?
All packed we board the coach going home
Vowing to ensure we remember to roam
For we don't have to wait for the holiday lull
To make sure we enjoy our life to the full
We can also make plans for our next time away
And start getting excited for another day.

| Thanks for your entries, not too many this month, but then I couldn't think of a too exciting subject... Anyway after much deliberation, (wot a fibber I am) Jo is the winner, so Jo please choose a subject for September if you would.
