Summer Poem

Summer

The bright sun shining on your face,
the warm, fresh breeze gentley hitting your skin,
is the feeling of summer.

Laying out on the fresh cut grass,
trying to get a golden tan for the upcoming school year,
is the feeling of summer.

Jumping into cold, refreshing pools,
when your body cant take the heat any longer,
is the feeling of summer.

Hearing and seeing your friends laugh,
while you hang out with them 24/7,
is the feeling of summer.

Staying up until the next day,
and then sleeping in until you can't sleep anymore,
is the feeling of summer.

I can't wait until I can say this is what I'm feeling, not what I'm wishing I'm feeling.

Response to Poem

This poem was confusing to me, but also made sense in a way. I realized that there are a lot of nobodies in this world, but then there are a lot of somebodies. I feel bad for the nobodies because they have no one to socialize with, no one to have your back, absolutely no one. I can't possibly imagine having no one in your life, and being a nobody. I think that this poem is saying that there are many people that have no one in their life, and if you talk to people, you may find that someone is just like you.
