free of stress, free of worries
early mornings, a memory
insert late afternoons
once confined to sessions
no more, never to look back
new friends, new adventures
experiences destined to be shared
poolside, beachside
any water side
head throbs, red skin
half pants, half shirts
girls in their glory,
you’ll remember fondly, these days forever

humid nights, darkless days
pack your bags your goodbyes said
stay a week, loads of pictures
document it
reunions and visits
fun and games
never-ending excitement
frozen water increases recognition
with added flavour, more so
slides of water, sprinkles and splashes
grains invade footwear, emptied banana vessels
in creeps the darkness
September bares its teeth
reload the supplies
its back to business
