Taste Summer

By Callie Taggart

Taste the summer sea;

its cool luscious juice will

linger on your tongue.

Taste the summer air,

and smear the raw sun

on top of your tanned skin.

Taste a summer rain;

whisper in its singing mists as the

honey spray moistens your face.

Taste the summer sky;

let the pastel blue cream

drip freely down your chin.

Taste a summer day.

It will be sweet and delicious

until, finally, it is gone.
