Running through the flowers
In the months of July through May
Can last me many hours and will easily make my day
I love the fiery sun
And the way the trees leisurely sway
So why can't summer be every day?
The popsicles and the lemonade
Make a smile brighten my face
And lounging in the shade is something I embrace
I love the clear blue skies, when nothing is ever gray
So why can't summer be every day?

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

'July through May' ?  :) That is almost everyday! Even thought I like the opposite of that (cloudiness, rain, flowers :) which is more like spring) I love the way you wrote this poem describing summer. It's what I do these days of summer, popsicles everyday, lemonade... :) very good!
