Summer Memories Poem by Amera Andersen

Forlorn as I kick the encrusted snow
Summer memories and present longings
The days on the lake with my loving beau
Entrusted to you, love and belongings

O little boat how you carried us through
So many hours we spent on the lake
With lover’s secrets that only you knew
We’ll trust you again for next summer’s break

I felt like a princess as he would row
With parasail, dress and my linen gloves
My flowered hat and my face all aglow
We nestled in you like two turtle doves

O little love boat when winter is through
Be ready my friend, we’ll be back for you
