It's Barefoot Days

One snared on the run as I chuckled over

a cute little collection of shoes left behind because

IT'S BAREFOOT DAYS!!

What's your summer happy place?

Mine is anywhere bare feet are allowed😊

It’s barefoot days

A dusty haze

And golden shimmered glance

Before the chill

Of snow-days spill

In diamond-studded dance

We revel in

Bronze-beveled grin

Of summer spent-too-soon

And part our lips

To snare the drips

Of honey-sweet high-noon

It’s barefoot bliss

Shoes strewn amiss

To feel Earth kiss our soles/souls

And taste the truth

Of hasty youth

Slipping through sky-blue holes

…to make the most

Of summer’s toast

To flower-bower joy

To celebrate

The blithesome gait

Of barefoot girl and boy

It’s barefoot days

Where landscapes blaze

Beneath a quickened clime

Where cricket and

Cicada-band

Serenade summer time
