Summer Concerts

Soft wind chime melodies conduct the sunset symphony

on the floating summer breeze,

carried in through

open windows.

In the distance,

the sketchy, scratchy sound of an ancient jazz trumpet

wails from an old popping, cracking record player

singing of passion and the blues.

Harmonies chime in

on cricket-winged voices,

the bells and flutes

of fireflies dancing

amid the green gold light of evening.

The rhythms of basketballs

and jump ropes echo

against the fragrance of lilacs.

The sweet taste of iced tea

is accompanied by tiny tinks of ice cubes strumming cold glasses

as soft synchronized whispers

fade into the sunset.
