Summer days !

Its summer !

The time when grasshoppers work in a frenzy flowers bloom aplenty 

Holiday vacations are planned and ice creams cream are darned !

Every year we would so yearningly wait for these two months after

 final exams and yet when it began we'd get bored already !

My parents would plan which camp I should join this year and 

I'd plan which holiday destination I'd like to travel to while day dreaming !

Mango pickles and jack fruits in the afternoon

Ice creams and jelly cooking adventures at home

treasure hunts and dark rooms games in the evening 

ghost ghost kitchen set teacher teacher ! 

Cousins and aunties visiting home 

and Old Grandma tales of talking gods and morals 

Of Life's and its mystic ways and god who's always watching at bay .

Lots of television but lot more of sand castles and lock and key .

Hide an seek and denner on the back 

Oh how I wish our childhood games would come back !

Of climbing trees and scraping knees 

Of early morning jogs and swimming laps

Of whistling lanes and cycling through by lanes

Of cream and chocolate and lots of mangoes .

Of screaming afternoons and late evening strolls 

Summer reminds me of all this and more !

Poems and stories written to pass time

Planes and boxes made in paper

flower picking and finger licking 

All in all a fantastic summer afresh for the new class ! 

Back to reality : Its 43 degrees in Ahmd exams hovering 

boredom seizures and adult treachery

Is this what I've grown up for ????

Summer Days ... are long gone !
