Summer Sounds like Springsteen

turn into dog days as the summer fades. TK U MLJ LV NV

Todski's trivial thoughts 

It was our summer

beach days

baseball games

that damned cap 

took years off your face

Did I look twice your age?

It was only one little decade

simple opening line, with an immediate break which forces the reader to move along, there isn't time to get bored or flit off, the declamation of "it was our" sets the tone as an interior monologue, which is a useful start as it gives context and personalisation to the write. 

followed by two simple things

beach days

baseball games, 

they are so much a part of summer that the reader is immediately in to the summer theme

, with as little effort as that, the near rhyme of days and games, gives it very nice sounding sonic play that drives the pace of the read. 

that damned cap, 

is such a human thought, lends personality to the narrator and an empathetic reaction that you drive home with the final lines of the stanza you also bring in the emotional content of human thought and expression by having self doubt 

"did I look twice your age"

Smooth satin sheets

(bought for me?)

perfumed with sunscreen

didn't stand a chance

against the sand

or the gingersnaps

you'd reach for after

smooth satin sheets, this is a silky phrase that turns the piece immediately semi erotic, with it's alliteration and sizzling sibilance, bought for me in () is interesting it flits the piece between reporting and interior monologue, your sound play is devine, 

me, sunscreen,

stand, sand, 

chance, gingersnaps

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's a little hazy

like the sun

that filled those days

glorious

thundering 

down the road

speakers blaring

"She's the One"

my hand on your thigh

you sang along

the first line of the final stanza, adds a melancholy twist and sets the above as a fond memory, reinforcing the first line, 

"it was our summer" 

the use of hazy hammers home the heat of summer and keeps your theme perfectly, it is well timed, 

glorious

thundering 

keeps your reader interested and highlights everything before it eliciting an empathetic response and allows room for your reader to personally interpret the glory, no spelling it out you force us want to connect.

also sounds here are very well done, 

thundering, blaring

and the final three lines

the one

and 

sang along

sound so good together and leave the poem echoing after its read

This reads almost like a song sounds. Nice.

If I'm not mistaken, this is an edited version of the "Anything But Spring" challenge. I like that you deleted that here. I also liked the coyness implied in the lines with the question marks. Smart writing.
