So many pictures
Trying new recipes
and old favorites too
Balela

Weekday pancakes
Too many snacks
New songs for the playlist
lots of old New Wave
Not having to drive

This poem was written to the prompt to write a summer poem at Margo Roby’s Tuesday Tryouts.
I liked the challenge of not writing about the things I put on my list of things that first came to my mind about summer. “Splashing in the water” is a bit of a cheat, but I still didn’t use anything from my list: swimming, beach, pool. It forced me to dig a bit deeper, and made me just focus on things I’ve done in the past two weeks.
Sadly Waiting for Recess 
Very well done, Richard. Can I come over for pancakes with you guys? 🙂 sounds like a good time.

Ack! I didn’t mean to read this one…I haven’t done this prompt yet.
You did a nice job on coming from the different angle. My summer poem wouldn’t reflect much of a difference from most of my year. But I’ll have to try to still come up with something for this prompt. Maybe I’ll save it for the END of my summer, summer poem.
(You keep mentioning Balela…)
