In response to a Discover prompt seen on The Daily Post, The Poetry of List-Making, I offer my list, although not quite ten things… Go here to view the challenge and participate. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/discover-challenges/the-poetry-of-list-making/
This is my list poem:
Ten or Fourteen Things Saying Summer
Perfectly ripe berries
The sweet flesh of a white peach
Garden centres at the supermarket
Dandelions carpeting the lawn
Shouts from my neighbour’s pool
Yellow ears of crisp corn
Deep red field tomatoes bigger than baseballs
Shorts, sandals, ceiling fans
The town street bazaar
Black-eyed Susans, Petunias, the scent of roses

These are “a few of my favorite things”! ;)
Mine too I think, although the list has changed since I got older. I’m sure swimming and sunbathing would have been there too a few years ago!–Carol
I think berries and peaches will be on my list no matter what age. :)
Peaches are one of my faves, and white skinned ones are so fragrant and tasty! Last week, though, I overindulged in wild blueberries and had a skin reaction so I have to ease up on those for awhile. :( Sometimes I make a fruit salad of raspberries, strawberries, peaches (or nectarines) and pineapple. Each mouthful is a spoonful of yum! C.
