Southern Summer

The sun so bright
Hot
Blinding.
On my back
It feels good.
I’m looking at it,
It hurts my eyes.
On my shoulders
Feels good too.
Makes water,
Like pools and lakes,
Warmer too.
Never understood,
Why always nice breeze,
By a lake.
Was fishing.
Enjoying the peace and breeze.
This was in the morning.
As the day moved on,
Sun got stronger,
Hotter and hotter,
And air it was time to go inside.
We saw a female deer by the lake,
First time seeing one in the South.
She darted away when she saw us.
It seems
Whatever state we’re in
Nature is different.
This is summer in the south.

Synopsis:

Gayle’s Tales is a collection of Tracy Gayle mystery short stories.

Everyone’s favorite couple, Tracy and Danny, are still going strong, romantically and professionally, rocking and rolling and solving crimes.

Tracy has to locate missing persons who vanished decades earlier.

She gets tangled in murder investigations she hadn’t anticipated.

She digs into a coal mining town that’s been uninhabited for 40 years and discovers secrets and skeletons.

In the end, she brings long–lost family members and friends back into each other’s arms and lives.

Through all this, she and Danny are planning their wedding extravaganza at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Tracy narrates her own adventures in these tales, as she does in the books.
