  2. The boys had not yet learned the art of the zippers in the front of their jeans. Baring all, they dropped their drawers and danced around, watering the flowers.

  5. Summer time, pink lemon aid. My mother’s floral apron. Stone bench at the edge of our green lawn. Dad’s mower humming. Sugary sweet smell. Tire swing. Smell of rubber left on our hands.

  6. there are often times i think of sprinklers. running through them as a child. . thinking to myself with happy thoughts. Happy thoughts that did not include homework or bills. . just pure happiness. Sprinklers make me bitter. Bitter because I hate how much has changed since then. I want to be able to run through the sprinklers without a care in the world.

  7. water colour red bangers fresh wangle down the road into the stream and he finds the fount of desire! what is this thing of which we dream? It is the salt and granite of lies and wretched purity that spines and ruins and penetrates and lies in the dark getting fresher and fresher

  8. Every time I see a sprinkler left on in the middle of the day, I think to myself, “What a waste of water.” We live in Florida, where rain flows freely and heavily from the skies every afternoon, or at least enough afternoons to justify not using sprinklers. People are too obsessed with their perfectly manicured, overly green, not even plush lawns. let them die and plant flowers instead.

  9. I love sprinklers. They are so fun. You can just sort of put them in your yard and run all over the place. Its rediculuous. Such a simple concept. One time, however, i was stung by a yellow jacket while running through a sprinkler and never used one again.

    Spraying across the lawn
    Splashing you on the sidewalk

    HOT

  11. The timing of the sprinklers was impeccable. It turned on just as he was walking by them. That means they activated exactly four minutes too early. Great, now he has to go change before he can go out. AGAIN. He swore someone was controlling the damn things. He’s never had so many wet shirts in his life.

  12. The sprinklers are falling
    Where to the ground
    Where on my head
    Where I spin
    around
    and around
    and around
    Like we were six years old
    and careless
    and naive
    and like we were cupcakes
    wrapped up together
    and shining
    and burning
    like fireflies in the sky
    never dying never ending
    like those sprinklers
    that fall on our heads

  13. Run through them and have a fun time! Get all wet and soggy and then take a shower! Then have some lemonade in the sunshine. Summertime.

  14. Sprinklers. They always seem to get the car that drives past them, whirling and beautifully spraying water onto everything within it’s reach.

  19. Sprinklers are fun. you can run in them and get wet and cool off and make mud in the yard. they can go back and forth slowly or around in a semicircle, then back again. The may make noise or be very quiet. Sprinklers make the grass grow and the lawn green.

  20. Sprinklers are what my dog loves. Every morning when she walks past them she buries her face in them and licks up all the water, smashing her whiskers. The force, the power, the thought… it’s incredible and hilarious to watch and I love it. She is entertaining.

    Oh love.

    Sprinklers are love.

  21. Sprinklers provide water. They water our plants, the water our well-mannered lawns. They keep our clean neighbors looking like a classic storybook neighborhood. Cut grass, the green, green grass. It’s all so fantasy. Isn’t it? Who actually has that great of a lawn.

  22. It was beautiful, like alice in wonderland. Sprinklers made of tootsie rolls with yogurt spraying everywhere. It was like my own heaven, it smelled of delicious fresh chocolate, I rolled around on the ground and looked like a beautiful candy cane filled with peppermint. It was the best day of my life.

  23. Dots of water stain my summer clothes. I pull them off and frollick through the sprinkler cooling down from the blazing sun…

  24. “But I wanted sprinklers,” Stacey pouted, looking at her birthday cupcakes. “I wanted sprinklers and I wanted purple icing.” Jeannine looked at her daughter as if she were some alien child. What was with this stubborn insistence that it really is possible to have what you want?

  25. She leaned back in the deck chair smiling as she watched her kids play in the sprinkler. Her mind wanders to when her and her brothers were growing up. Boy how they loved to play in the sprinkler. It didn’t matter that they only got to play in it a few months out of the year. Those times were still some of the most precious childhood memories she had.

  26. i like sprinklers they remind me of the days when i lived in Darby and they are so much fun but always so cold to get into at first and the best think to go along with them is water slip and slidessssss

  27. You came to take us, all things go, all things go. To recreate us, all things go, all things go. We had our mindset, all things know, all things know. You had to find it, all things go, all things go.

  29. I love playing in these as a kid. My grandpa used to have one that looked like a tractor and spun around. Me and my sister would play in it for hours. I always loved summer time when the sprinklers would come on and we would run through them even in all of our clothes, my mom always hated it. But oh well! That’s the fun of being a kid.

  30. when i was young, I would run through the sprinkleers in my back yard every summer day it was hot enough to do so. it was one thing i looked forward to, something that was always an option on those muggy days where it was far to humid to accomplish anything else.

  34. It was one of those boring days at school. You know those days when nothing really ever happens you just sit there and look out the windows. But today it was a different day, it started out like one of those days but then. Little Tommy pulled the sprinklers and everthing went wet

  35. The children ran and jumped trying to out run the rainbird. The hot sun making ranbows in the drops as the sprinklers quinched the earth’s thirst.

  36. they sprinkle things. dead flowers come to life. sweet smells made. water is thrown, life is given. a cool drop chills the entire body. remembering childhood fun, joining in once again.

  37. The sprinklers came on in the blink of an eye. Bob looked up. Unfortunately, his eyes were considerably slower than most. He couldn’t blink quickly enough and got water in his eye. He swore, and water went in his mouth, too.

  38. there were sprinklers on her lawn, carefully placed as everything of hers so often was. she lay there, her back to to a chair, watching with closed eyes as the sun set in the distance. her sunglasses shielded large eyes of blue, deep as an ocean, cold as winter
