Summer taking off like a bottle rocket

 

There is an expression

"The Dead of Winter"

it relays the cold

short days

and even colder

long nights

of the season

What would be its opposite?

Long hot days

a state pass

shorts and no socks

punctuated

by brief cool evenings

filled with chips and guacamole

mosquitoes and beer

The Life of Summer

taking off like a bottle rocket

then

slowing ebbing

emitting sparks all the while
