This was written for the “Summer” prompt at Totally Optional Prompts. I thought I would try a cinquain form for this one. Enjoy.

——————————–
Summer
brought to me its
heavy heat and blurred smells
swimming through the thick, humid ocean
of air.

Summer
days brought to me
teenaged wealth through part-time
jobs – wealth which, once earned, was spent at
the mall.

Summer
swimming bestowed
a chocolate cast on
my already brown skin – I was
burnt brass.

Summer
contained mischief
spent in episodes of
pranks, skinny dipping, and stolen
kisses.

Summer,
once gone, left me
with memories, wisdom,
and photographs – and with a few
regrets.
