A boy dreams of Summer
Magic Sneakers by Liz O'Neill

At last Winter
    Has moved on
        To another place
 
Time to peel off the leather boots
      All full of snow
      and memories of cold
        and look to store windows
            to hold memories of tomorrow
 
Fresh green grass
Homeruns
Jumping over slippery rocks
Letting a little green snake
       pass first
 
Tall golden grass
The slurping sounds of mud
Chasing after Summer
Friends running 'long side
 
A Summer almost gone
      And not yet begun
        Until
          the boy
Puts on
      His brand new
          Sneakers 
 

Author Notes
Back in '81 I saw a similar picture which inspired me

This is a club event submission called Picture this.
