Thoughts of a Ham Sandwich

I want summer

I want summer

I want hot days

where I can wear self-cut shorts and pretty sundresses

I want warm nights

where I can lay out under the stars and make wishes on the ones that fall 

I want to read poems on the beach

then memorize every line that makes my heart leap

I want to eat watermelon that drips onto my chin

then laugh at myself for being a mess 

I want things to be light and bright and simple

I want summer

AN: So I'm realizing that I'm more of a memoir writer than a poet, though the line between the two is rather hazy. 

I'm taking a creative writing class this semester that focuses on poems and memoirs. So hopefully I will be able to improve my skills in both.
