July Visual Poetry Prompt
Lemonade Days
A crooked little stand,
built with eager hands
and dreams
far bigger
than a pocketful of coins.
A jug of lemonade,
sweetened with sunshine,
poured into paper cups
for strangers
who become neighbours
with a single smile.
No business plan.
No grand ambition.
Only laughter,
sticky fingers,
and the belief
that a summer afternoon
could last forever.
I wonder
when we stopped
building lemonade stands
and started
building walls.
Perhaps
the child
who painted this sign
still knows
what so many adults forget—
that happiness
is often homemade.
With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
— Maggie The Afterlove Voice 💫
