Porch Door Beat

The sound of summer.

The gentle clap of the porch door.

Family and friends arrive with the beat of the porch door.

The familiar voices and laughs.

The smell of brats, burgers and corn on the cob.

The crack of a Miller High Life,

The pop of a bottle of Rose.

The porch door is in full swing with the coming and going.

The porch door keeps time.

The dogs in and out and an occasional fire fly, hopefully not a mosquito too.

The gentle clap, the quick slap becomes the song of summertime.

We cheers to our time together on the porch, grateful for memories shared and new memories banked.

The porch door plays on, a clap, a slap, a pop, an occasional knock.

The beat of a gathering.

The sound of summer.

The porch door beat.
