Animal Summer Fun

How are you enjoying the summer? Perhaps you are being like these cute animals. Enjoy!

Children Enjoying Summer

Children in the summer 

Love to laugh and play, 

Making the most

Of each bright summer day, 

Enjoying the bliss

Of a warm day in June, 

Happily playing

And singing a tune, 

Laughing with abandon 

In the freedom of July, 

With red, rosy cheeks 

And a sparkle in the eye, 

Whirling and twirling

In a flash of legs and arms, 

Singing and dancing, 

Displaying all their charms, 

Sailing through summer, 

Faces happy and bright, 

Expressing their enjoyment 

With squeals of delight.

Excerpt of A Symphony of Seasons by Connie Arnold

Children Enjoying Summer

Although it's not summer yet, it will be here before long. Do you like summer? I do, except when it gets extremely hot! I think most children really enjoy summer, with their break from school and time to have fun and play. My grandchildren will be out of school for summer vacation in just a few weeks, so I thought I'd post this poem about children enjoying summer. Can you picture children doing this?

Children in the summer
Love to laugh and play,
Making the most
Of each bright summer day,
Enjoying the bliss
Of a warm day in June,
Happily playing
And singing a tune,
Laughing with abandon
In the freedom of July,
With red, rosy cheeks
And a sparkle in the eye,
Whirling and twirling
In a flash of legs and arms,
Singing and dancing,
Displaying all their charms,
Sailing through summer,
Faces happy and bright,
Expressing their enjoyment
With squeals of delight.

This is an excerpt from my newly released poetry book, A Symphony of Seasons, my second book published by RPJ and Company. I'm also pleased to announce that, in addition to my Animal Sound Mix-up, Guardian Angel Publishing has accepted two more children's books for future publication! I love writing for and about children, whether through my poetry books or picture books!
