Hey! Its Portia! Summer is almost here! I think that we should all write something about summer. It will be a little theme for our new posts. This a pastiche off of To Kill a Mockingbird I made about summer. Hope you like it!

Summer is inching towards me like an insect. Hours ticked as slowly behind the dull red institutional clock. Summer is a chance to explore: it is floating in the sweet, warm air ready to fall in the soft grass, or having your fingers permanently pruned from all the swimming in Sarah’s pool; summer is freedom and that little voice inside of you that says “go, go do it, be free”. Summer is an ocean of excitement swirling in the bright sunlight; but most of all, summer is no homework.

I also wrote a poem called Yesterday. Enjoy!

Yesterday she was lively.

Yesterday her eyes shined with

a thousand colors.

Yesterday the chirp in her voice

made everyone smile.

Yesterday her hair swayed

in the cool breeze.

Yesterday she felt like she could fly in the wind

like a bird set free,

with nothing holding it back.

But it is not yesterday,

and now I am watching her

lie there silently

as the hospital lights flicker on and off.
