Barbecue

Barbecue
(A Minute Poem)


Family picnic upon the hill
To eat their fill,
A shaded site,
Summer's delight!

Surrounded by some large oak trees
In gentle breeze,
Set coals alight.
Charcoal turns white.

The sights and sounds, they laugh and joke,
Barbecue smoke
Drifts to the heights.
Grilled hot dog bites.






Recognized


These are the things of summer.
