We debated doing this, since we just had a music prompt, but it's just so perfect for right now. Promise there won't be another music-related prompt for a while.

✰ LYRICS
Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin
On the night you left I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart I couldn't win
Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
You can write as much or as little as you want; this round has no word or time limit. Whatever this song inspires! Happy August writing.

wanderlark said she was going to post this, but I think she's out of internet for a while and I know y'all wanna get writing. Also, since music is a repeated theme, we might do a flash drive-by prompt towards the end of the month as well, so keep an eye out for that.
