Summertime

This is a poem about how I feel on a typical summer, when you don't travel much for vacation and you are left around the house. The Persistence of Memory, by Salvador Dalí, explains how I feel as if everything is melting. Click above on the title to view the painting, and enjoy the poem below! Please comment below!


Summertime,
The restless days of sunlight


Summertime,
School’s out from dawn to midnight


In the, Summertime -
You oughta get some shuteye


In the Summertime


Summertime,
Why do you come and go?


Summertime,
Tell me this - if it so


In the, Summertime
You’ve melted all the snow


In the Summertime


Summertime,
They say it’s just too hot


Summertime,
Do you really care or not?


In the, Summertime -
The old man sleeps on the cot


In the Summertime


Summertime,
The Sun just seem no fair


Summertime,
Shorts and tie dyes with a flare


In the, Summertime -
The rock dove’s aren’t scared


In the Summertime -


Also, here is the YouTube video, taken of Summertime - sung by Ella Fitzgerald that inspired me to write in these form of stanzas.
