Sweet Summer Memories by Chrissy Maher

The hot summer sun beating down on the crystal water
Birds chirping in the distance
The wind blowing lightly through our hair
Squirrels chasing each other around in circles
Lying on the beach blanket, drinking ice cold water
Our feet sinking in the warm sand as we walk along the beach
Your eyes, blue like the sky enveloping us
Your rugged look, so dashing and strong
Your arms so strong and comforting
Your sense of humor tantalizing
Sounds of the tide washing up on the shore
Birds singing in the trees above us
Sounds of children playing in the yards
Screams of splashing pool water
Sounds of parents yelling, “It’s time to eat” to the many children playing in the street
Your laughter, contagious
The sound of your heartbeat, soothing
Sweet smells of roses blossoming in the front yard
The wondrous aroma of suntan lotion on a laughing baby
The sensuous smell of your cologne takes me away
The mint scent makes me feel warm and close to you
Your handsome features, wrought with mystery
Sourness of ice cold lemonade made fresh just moments ago
Tangy taste of a grape Popsicle creeping down your arm
Hot sun beating down on our bare shoulders
Pool is cool and refreshing
The soothing feel of the air conditioner as we enter the house overtakes us
Peaceful summer day

  1. I love these images, Chrissy. You really draw the reader in by appealing to our senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, sound. Your writing is very vivid.
