So long

So long short summer dresses

and sleeveless tops.

So long to those sun baked legs

and hair tossed into a pony tail.

So long casual walks along

hot city streets.

So long outside beers and late

night warmth.

So long flip flop feet and toes

in the sand.

So long mosquitoes, I won’t

miss your tinny buzzing in my ear.

So long short sleeves and tees.

So long hot pants and baseball caps.

So long gentle summer breeze

So long to your soft summer skin.

So long crowded drunken streets and

delicious mischief.

So long porch sitting as the sun goes

down.

So long summer. Fall has arrived and

moved your stuff into the hall closet.

Come back soon and wear that outfit

I like so much.
