Sun burned down hot and hotter over the lake
rippled only by slim rowing boats, kayaks, geese and ducks
the call of a rowing master punctured the air
clutches of goslings and ducklings settled under shades of summer leaves
fine feathered parents stood guard to watch over them
songbirds quieted as the temperature reached the sky
joggers, cyclists and walkers moved steadily through shade and heat
soft breezes slipped through the trees, wafting across the lake
we all kept talking and solving the problems of the world.
“Summertime and the livin’ is easy.”
~ Porgy and Bess
