Poetry Friday

It is Friday and that means I should be sharing a poem with you. We are in the lazy, warm days of summer and this seemed to express my feelings well.

Song of the Screen Door

The screen door sings a homey song
Of cozy creaks and crangs

That kids just love to puntuate
With nerve exploding bangs...

They wait until you're nodding off...
(As grownups often do)

Or better, 'til your coffee cup
Is full of scalding brew.

And then, just as if shot from guns
At deadly point blank range...

Wham! They're in!... Or, slam! They're out!
And splash!... You have to change.

by Tom Hegg from "Up to the Lake"

Hope you can all get out and enjoy a lake wherever you may be and enjoy the lazy, warm days of summer.
