Description Already in shorts and bright colored tees,
Run up the stairs to the house with youthful ease.
Drop the schoolwork in the trash it doesn't really matter,
I won't be going back to school until two months after.

Time to buy watermelon and tons of ice cream,
Driving mom crazy when she trips on rinds and seeds.
Run towards the ocean and transform into a fish,
Find a starfish in the sand and make a special wish.

Sunburn on my nose but I don't really care,
Won't be seeing the age spots for another fifty years.
Got sand in my bathing suit and in my ears,
Grandma says the ocean is made of a billion angel tears.

Make new friends on the shore and promise letters all the time,
Memories of their names forgotten when summer hits its prime.
A cute boy with a stick draws both our initials in a heart,
He is the love of my life until I remember boys laugh at all their farts.

Summer is now over, the bathing suit goes back inside the drawer,
The bright sun and sandcastles will fade when the rain begins to pour.
The sunny days are in the pasts but never shall you fear,
Because summer will be back again within the coming year.

This is very sweet and relatable. A few of your rhymes seem forced, but overall you did a nice job.

The fourth stanza especially is lovely. I get such a strong image from that one!
