What are your tricks to beat Summer heat?
Iced coffee, salads, and popsicle treats?
Sprinklers, water hoses cooling hot feet?
Reading in shade, hammock for a seat?
Art museums, libraries, theater for a play?
Driving to the shore, shopping in cape May?
Pool time, swimming, Marco Polo games all day?
Boat rides, going fast, breezes on the bay?
As for me, I enjoy all of these and more.
Ocean waves at sunset, walking along the shore.
Fireworks, fireflies, relaxed summer evenings I adore.
And promise of autumn color, coolness that’s in store.
