Determined to get better at writing, I forced myself to sit down till I actually put together something. Here it is, a short poem.
Come here if you wanna know
How Midwest summer really is
Green leaves blossom on the trees
Happy faces are all that you see
——————————————-
By dawn, the night bids its goodbye
Making way for the gorgeous sunlight
15 hours long, it will be
For the sun truly takes its hike
——————————————-
Contrary to what you think
Work in the summer is not easier
Beautiful and enticing sun
Makes us nothing but much less efficient
——————————————-
Every day I look out from the office window
Longing badly to bathe in the sun
To walk, to hike and to bike
To really revel in the summer fun
